snoop1130 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Biker dog Bogie thrills fans as he cruises Philippine highways By Adrian Portugal Motorcycle enthusiast Gilbert Delos Reyes rides with his pet dog Bogie, in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines, November 26, 2020. REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez IMUS, Philippines (Reuters) - With his black sports jacket, reflective aviator sunglasses and bespoke orange helmet with holes so his ears can stick out, Bogie the dog sure is one suave-looking canine, with an Easy Rider look that would earn him a place in any motorcycle gang. The 11-year-old crossbreed from the Philippines takes daily motorcycle rides with his owner Gilbert Delos Reyes, balanced perfectly with his hind legs on the edge of the seat and paws straddling the handlebars. Bogie has become a neighbourhood celebrity and is a magnet for attention on mountain and beach road trips. "The first thing I taught him when he was around four months old was how to ride a motorcycle. I would carry him whenever I rode," said Reyes, who owns a motorcycle shop in Cavite province outside the capital Manila. "One day, he just started following me every time I left the house. As soon as I started the engine, he would get excited and jump on the bike." Bogie is also good for business, helping to lure customers eager to take pictures with him to Reyes' shop, and doling out pawshakes as well. He has even proven himself useful as a guard dog, once chasing after thieves who tried to steal his owner's gold necklace at an intersection. Reyes purchased Bogie when he was just a month old for 100 pesos ($2), but says the dog has been a lucky charm, and is priceless. "I think of Bogie as a son. He's been with me for 11 years and is a big part of my life," said Reyes. "We've had so many adventures and been to many places together, I don't think I can ever replace him." -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-11-27 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
