There was a guy with a 2 man kayak I came across several times at a local lake.His Irish setter sat up front while he paddled a couple of miles upwind then he'd open a large golf umbrella and come sailing back

...my wife was a farm girl and estimates she was feeding at least 100 cats at one point...they bought bulk cat food and mixed it with large boxes of powdered dry milk and water...put it out in cake pans...my wife loved her cats...her dad liked the fact that there wasn't a rodent for miles around...

I saw a guy at the bank drive through window on a replica Army motorcycle with sidecar. A Great Dane wearing goggles was sitting in the sidecar.

May not be interesting but certainly a little unusual relationship.

i had a dog with a pet cat.
when she could she'd grab the kitty. she'd then hold her down with a big paw. kitty got angry at first but after it happened a bunch of times she just accepted it.
the doggie just liked holding the cat. never a fight, no one ever got hurt.

I bought a semi load of baled hay about 15 miles from my place in Colorado. I had to go help the hay farmer load the hay. I had a 100 lb. Doberman male that went everywhere and did everything with me. We were using a conveyor belt rig that pulled a bale up at a time to the top loader (me). My Dobie wanted up there too so the farmer put him on top of a bale and sent him up to me. We worked most of the morning and then tied the bales down. The Dobie was on top of the semi trailer load the whole time. The farmer got into his semi tractor and I was hooked onto the conveyor rig with my pickup. The Dobie didn't want to come down so we just drove the back roads to my place with that big Dobie sitting on top of all the bales. Several people saw us and one couple actually stopped and took pictures as we passed. I watched him from behind and could tell he was having the time of his life. He was the rare dog that actually had a sense of humor. He would play jokes on my horses and the barn cats. I still miss that dog. .............

Was this in the Dalla area? There is a guy with an old military BMW with a sidecar and a huge black Great Dane riding in it.

I lived on a place with lots of coyotes around and they didn't bother my cat who, I caught living by a dumpster. But, then I had a 140# wolfdog she was friends with and nothing much came on the place while he was alive. A black bear once made the mistake of wondering in the yard. I didn't even know it until dog jumped up flew out the door and tore after it. By the time I got out to see what was up there was the bear moving out with dog snapping at his rear. It was his place and you only came on it if he wanted to let you. I introduced him to the meter man, who wouldn't get out of his truck. LOL. I had a breeze way that one door opened in and the other out and both just had springs so he would go out one and in the other. If cat wanted in he would go open the door for her.
Smartest and biggest lap dog I ever had. I am 6'3" and he could put his paws on my shoulders and say hi. When I got that place I walked him around the edges and as I did I stopped and left some "sign" every 50 yds or so. He got the idea right away.
First get tthe right dog, you know you want one, puppy pain or not. Then get the right cat.

Worst place to find one: on your fork at a Chinese restaurant. 
Years ago my Mom, sister and a girl cousin decided to BBQ, when they went get the pit ready to light they lifted the lid and inside was a live possum which started snarling at them. This was long before the days of cellphones so no pictures. We never could figure out how the possum got in through the small opening (for a rotisserie) in the side of the lid.
They had something else for dinner that night!
Once we found a bottle in the water at the beach no message but a small live octopus inside.

Harry Chapin wrote a song about that-
"There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place where I eat every day at noon..."
Okay, Bob Rivers changed the lyrics a wee bit.
My SIL heard her cat screaming and pitchin' a fit and went into the kitchen and found proor Skittles with her head stuck in the lower rack in the diswasher.

Shasta did that but to her kitty-chow dispenser. I had to undo the top-spilling at least 3 weeks of food on the floor-some in water-bowel-waste of expensive food in the process. Shasta glared, but I still laughed. She then said something like: "Muraaaant" while trotting away angrily at me and jumped into MY easy chair knowing full well, that I was about to use it.
Back when "Pork" and "Beans" could still fit:

I remember one... Years ago, while patrolling I-84 in CT, got a call for a MV accident. Got there, and it was a 30 foot, or so, travel trailer that had come loose from the PU towing it. It had literally disintegrated in a 100 yard path down the highway.
Elderly couple were unhurt, but upset about their dog, that had been in the trailer. It didn't look good for fido, but I told them I would try to find him. Thought I heard some growling in one pile of debris, so I lifted it up. A little rat looking thing jumped out, tried to bite my hand (missed), took a quick look around, spotted his owners, and made a beeline for them, tail wagging. I was amazed, given I have seen plane crashes that were more intact than that trailer.

It was in North Carolina outside of Raleigh. Suburb called Clayton.
We took in a stray for a few days until we found a family to take her in. We already had 3 dogs at the time which is technically all the city allows. We called her Annie and she was a total scamp. I came home from work one day and she was waiting for me in the front window. She's about 4 feet off the carpet in this pic. There is a oak and glass cabinet behind the drapes that she is leaning on. Still not sure how she got up there. By the time I got inside she was waiting at the front door for me.
