The annual Fort King festival was held in Ocala last weekend. We'll provide much more information about this festival along with a number of photographs in the coming days. This gentleman and his dog were enjoying the sights and graciously consented to having their picture taken. I neglected to get his name, so if he sees this, I want to say "Thank you!"

Wow, not seen something like this before! Have only seen people carrying kids, kangaroo style :-)
Good one!

Great shot Jacob. I love these types of photos. Your shot here reminds me of Steffe's photo/interviews.
Thanks as usual for your kind words to me and especially to Astoria Daily photo. RE: moving to the NW. Of course you'd like it but you can be lonely or happy almost anywhere, Besides if I recall your children and grandchildren live in Fla. It is nice to be near family most of the time. Re: The photo. The guy has such a funny look on his face. It resembles, no surprise, the dog's expression.
It looks like he's having fun, and the dog looks so relaxed. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more about the festival.
L'homme a le visage pointu ... comme son petit chien !
people are crazy about their dogs
This guy is perfect, in his own way, dog in pouch included. Very nice portrait.
original ce sac à chien ;o))
original this bag to dog; o))
Kangaroo is the name, I think!
That is just too cute. I bet he's a "chick magnet"
this is so sweet!
The Dog is so beautiful !! What a great way !!Unseen Rajasthan
Cute. I once looked into a sling for Bibi, but she was too heavy in it. So she walks!
Just call him the Florida guy. I like the dog, I need to get me a little one like that to carry around.
The dog certainly seems to be enjoying the ride.My dogs would not take to this at all.
If you were as clever as our friend Steffe, you would have found out the dog's name, dog's breed, dog's age, dog's favorite food! And then there's the guy's name, guy's occupation, how long has he lived in Ocala, does he have other dogs, etc etc.
You just have to ask MORE questions and stop being so gosh darn shy!
@ Safe Leif - I'se so sorry, but I'se scared of peoples and doggies.
@ B Squared - I went home and tried it with our 70-lb Golden Retriever. Fell flat on my face and couldn't get up for hours!
Even the dog seems to enjoy this type of outing. I wonder though. MB
I thought it was a case of indecent exposure.
It looks like the two of them have done this many times before. The dog looks so comfortable!
OH! How utterly CUTE! Fun and funny, nice capture. :-D
I just think there is something wrong about people literally "walking" their dogs.
Precious pooch! The owner looks very happy to be there, too. Great portrait!
Jacob, I had to swing the laptop screen away from the snippy Dr. Porter, the royal Peke presence at my feet (and that's only because he can't jump up onto his silk pillow.) If he saw this contraption I'd be sunk. The ankle biting would certainly begin until he was cozy and being hauled about. No way my friend.
@ Halcyon - I think sometimes for little dogs it's safer...they could easily get trampled on the ground in a crowd...
My neighbor friend, Peg, has three smaller dogs, one of which, Molly, sits in pouch just like this when she walks all three. You see, Molly isn't a lover of other dogs and she gets a bit snippy with others if she's on leash! Quite comical to see, actually!
Jacob, the little dog looks like a Papillon. Do you see the resemblance?
That is a cute one. I guess fine minds think alike....I have a dog post today too. :)
Now that dog surely knows how to find himself an elevated position in life!
The dog looks right at home!
A great portrait of an interesting duo. My dogs are spoiled, no doubt..... but they do have to walk for themselves.......
A great capture Jacob. Makes me laugh.
@ Dan J. - Thanks. Do you know that the comment form on your blog is "closed"?
@ Prospero - Yes, I do. Now I wished I'd asked so to be sure!
Look at that paw - she is one spoilt liddle lady!
I liked a lot this idea! Let me try it with little Luna! :)
Léia
@ Leia - Ha, ha. I'd like to see you try that with Luna! :-))
Hehe, funny picture! There is this quote dogs have owners, cats have staff. I think it should be rewritten into something like big dogs have owners, small dogs and cats have stuff. Too funny that the guy is carrying his dog around.
Someone is very comfortable!!
The dog seems very happy!
My Bangkok Through My Eyes!
You got a Posty: I want to give 15 postcards :)
