Drama the MTB Trail Dog - The worst

If you want to get cheap views on your mountain
biking videos, just follow this simple formula: Mountain bike + Dog = Views
Actually anything + Dog = Views Type in trail dog and youll see tons
of pups chasing their owners through mountain bike trails. A trail dog will get you that Youtube cheese,
and I want in. It seems like you need a pretty sporting dog
though, and Drama is anything but sporting. Hes addicted to air conditioning, doesnt
cooperate, and isnt very courageous.

He cant even fetch, let alone follow me
through the trails without a leash. Can Drama be a trail dog? Theres only way to find out. Were pretty sure that todays domestic dogs
evolved from a common ancestor who resembled the gray wolf. Its said that even handbag dwelling chihuahuas
have wolf blood pumping through their veins.

Their ancestors chased things in order to
eat, and that same instinct is alive and well today. In most dogs at least. Drama does seem to follow the person who feeds
him, but thats the only reason hed trot behind me at 2 miles per hour. If he were driven by wolf instincts, hed
care more about actually catching me.

Hell follow for 15 or 20 seconds, and then
get sidetracked to eat grass or pee on something. Drama just cant stay on task and he has
no sense of urgency. Hes accustomed to getting everything he
wants without working for it, and that might explain his laziness. Maybe hes just being a bulldog.

Its easy to be fooled into thinking that
Drama is just a slow pup, but thats definitely not true. After drying off from a bath he loses his
shit. The same thing happens if you try to sweep
or mop something. It seems like Drama just doesnt care about
chasing bicycles, but I think I know a way to persuade him.

Okay, so I think we got a couple of decent
runs out of Drama this way, but I cant always ride the trails with a broom. Plus it doesnt hold his interest any longer
than the bike. After 0.1 Of a mile hes done, ready to
drink water and lay around. French Bulldogs do have a tendency to overheat,
so the tropical climate may have something to do with his reluctance to go full pup.

Would he feel like running in cooler weather? Your guess is as good as mine. In another YouTube video, I did find a French
Bulldog who seems to enjoy running after mountain bikes. So I think weve proven that Drama will
follow me through the trails if I wait up for him every ten feet. Should we give him the title of trail dog? I dunno.

My dreams of careening through the trails
with the sounds of my paws pitter pattering behind me were never realistic in the first
place. Drama is more of a shop pup than a trail dog. If Im working on my bike or editing videos,
hes always right there. He even co-hosts my podcast.

What do you guys think? Do any of you have trail yorkies, or trail
shitzus? How far from wolf lineage can you get before
its just not feasible? I want to know. If  you like Drama and want to help put him through
college, buy a trail pup shirt, now available on Teespring. Thanks for riding with me today, and Ill
see you next time..
