A dog, a cat and a rat.
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 10:53 pmThis is a video of a homeless man in Santa Barbara and
his pets. They work State Street every week for
donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are
mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them
rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have
to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some
juncture the rat came along, and as no one wanted to
eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat
and, often, on the cat! The dog will stand all day
and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin
scratches. The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this
clip and sent it out as a holiday card
