They teach monkeys to ride dogs and round up goats as a novelty act. It's rather entertaining.

I've seen them perform. Cutest thing ever.

Edit: here is a crappy picture I took when I saw them... wearing the same outfit. http://imgur.com/ufxvb

[–]skandalouslsu 12 points13 points ago

I've seen them at the Angola Prison Rodeo a couple times. The first time I fell off my bench I was laughing so hard. As if I wasn't already in bizarro world watching prisoners get trampled by bulls as thousands of fat people cheered them on, here come these dogs with monkeys strapped to their back to round up some goats on the back of a truck. It's horrible and awesome at the same time. Those poor monkeys take a beating as they violently rock back and forth, but it is comical as it's rather surreal.

[–]SrslyYouToo 5 points6 points ago

The monkeys aren't strapped on. They are just sitting on there holding on. I thought they were strapped on too at first. But the trainer guy just reached out his hand and the monkey just climbed up, no straps undone.

[–]skandalouslsu 3 points4 points ago

Good to know. Those monkeys are good at hanging on for dear life. From their movements it looked like they were strapped in.

[–]Cynikal818 8 points9 points ago

Holy shit...this might be the greatest thing ever

[–]s0m3thingc13v3r 4 points5 points ago

Are the monkeys actually directing the dogs with their legs and/or reins? Or are those just trained sheepdogs doing their thing or taking commands from a trainer?

[–]SrslyYouToo 4 points5 points ago

they are trained sheep dogs, the monkeys are just along for the ride.

[–]Claypool2112 1 point2 points ago

How do you need more context than that?

[–]PhillyCheeseBlunt 13 points14 points ago

Who is 'they'? where and why? It was a simple explanation, perhaps sufficient to some though.

[–]logicalreply 10 points11 points ago

carnies at the state fair, in the south

[–]Heyblinken 6 points7 points ago

Really? See that's why it was a valid question. I thought for sure we were somewhere in Southeast Asia.

[–]Claypool2112 3 points4 points ago

Well I guess I wasn't thinking of who actually trained them. The why part I figured was self explanatory because then you have the question "Why not?". The where, I figured everyone just assumed that this was from America. After saying all that, I actually am interested in the who part where people actually take time to train these monkeys to do that.

[–]lambrinibudget 2 points3 points ago

This might be a stupid question, but do the monkeys actually do anything other than ride the dogs? Like, is it the dogs doing the rounding of goats and the monkeys are just there for the ride?

[–]Kagurath 2 points3 points ago

In the video, it looks like they're just for show. They might serve some purpose but overall the dogs listen to their master. But seriously, monkeys. Riding. Dogs. Need I say more?

[–]anthrocide 1 point2 points ago

The goat stole a kangaroo's purse, and this monkey and his trusty dog have come to the rescue.

[–]starbuxed 4 points5 points ago

Now I understand why the monkey is so pissed, I would be too.

[–]SkateTime 16 points17 points ago

Was this at the colts game yesterday? cause i think there was a monkey riding a dog there.

[–]hedonismbot89 13 points14 points ago

You'd be correct because it did happen at Lucas Oil Stadium.

As a last second edit, for those who don't follow the NFL, yesterday was a big day for the Indianapolis Colts organization because it welcomed back Coach Chuck Pagano to the sideline who's been gone since September getting chemo to treat leukemia. Welcome back, Coach Pagano.

[–]imwatchingyousleep 7 points8 points ago

As someone from Houston, it felt horrible being the villain and losing home field advantage in the play offs. Welcome back, Pagano. I don't wish any ill will on you and I'm glad you're healthy, but deep down, I hate you.

Edit: That last part was directed towards Pagano, not you hedonismbot89.

[–]CU_Buffs 5 points6 points ago

I don't care if it was Pagano or the dog-riding monkey that inspired the Colts to win that game, but as a Denver broncos fan, I say thank you.

Actually, this is one of the same monkey in a rodeo. It has a certain badass element that the warrior one is lacking. Just look at his stoic face! He knows how to rope the lady monkeys in.

It basically means "no competition." And (I wonder if OP did it on purpose) the expression comes from horse racing; when the leader of a race is so far ahead he puts his hands down, ceasing all efforts because he know he will win.

[–]RamonaLives -1 points0 points ago

I saw this act at a minor league baseball game this summer. It was called Ghost Riders. The monkeys were not tied down to the dog; the guy had one climb up his arm after they were done failing to pen the goats. And the dogs kept peeing on the field.

It was hilarious and amazing. And then the guy started getting all televangelist-y and it got really, really awkward in the stadium really quickly. I'm not in a very religious area, and no one at a minor league game in northeast Ohio came for a sermon.
