Dogs in sidecar captured in phone photo in Brasília

Thiago Bernardes de Souza captured a phone photograph in Brasília of several of his dogs riding in the sidecar of his motorbike beneath a bright sky.

De Souza said exploring Brazil’s capital on his motorbike is a pleasure in that weather, and that his canine cavalcade had "effectively invited themselves along for the ride." He noted that Filo, the first member of the pack, was present that day though not in the frame; Filo began riding in a backpack years ago. He rescued Teo, the dog in the goggles, who is a mixed breed and "the most energetic and mischievous," and Teo jumped into the sidecar when he was a puppy. Juju, at the front in the picture, was rescued a couple of years later and "settled into the remaining place immediately," de Souza said; he described her as "the sweetest and most loving dog." He added that the dogs now know the order in which to get into the sidecar.

To take the photograph, de Souza placed his phone on a tripod and then tilted the bike while riding so the sidecar lifted into the air; he later made minor edits using the Lightroom app. "I always knew they loved the experience and the wind on their faces, but seeing them like this is priceless," de Souza said. "When I saw what I'd captured, I felt immense joy."

The account does not say what will happen next.
