Well, this guy sure is pretty cute, though I’m not so very convinced that he wants to be doing what he’s doing. But what do I know…
Whiplash the Tiny cowboy capuchin monkey – from the moment he rides into the rodeo ring on the back of his border collie, he is the star of the show. With the help of his trusty steed, he rounds up a flock of startled sheep. Then there’s the crowd’s favourite ‘hi-ho silver’ moment when the collie becomes a bucking bronco and Whiplash rides tall in the saddle.
His owner, Tommy Lucia, 67, dismisses claims from animal campaigners that Whiplash would be better off in the rainforests of Central or South America, his native habitat.
Whiplash’s fan base is rapidly growing. Like most 21-year-olds, Whiplash is on Facebook. And after starring in a TV ad for a taco restaurant chain, he is also an Internet hit, being seen by millions on YouTube.

Well, they look cute, but I do wonder if the monkey stays on of his own accord…or if he is somehow tied to the dog.
I feel sorry for the poor thing… I’m sure he isn’t enjoying himself. :(
