I had a quick glance of this charming sight on Union Street in San Francisco this week.
Unfortunately before I could get out of my car, the man put the mouse in his jacket pocket and jumped into a taxicab with the dog and cat and whisked away. I drew this from memory while enjoying a coffee at Jovino.

Great find, and a nice sketch from memory. I saw this same scene a few years ago on The Square in Sante Fe. I gave the guy a dollar in exchange for a picture of his cat, dog and mouse.

I’ve read about this fellow and entourage for years – amazing! There are several videos on YouTube.

Thanks for commenting Susan and Margie. I had previously seen a YouTube video also, but the dogs and cats are always different so there must be several people out there doing this. I asked a friend in Tokyo and he confirmed they are even doing it there!
