Monkeys riding dogs: on life after rodeo

For some strange reason, there aren't many guidebooks out there on how to teach a monkey to ride a dog.

But that didn't matter much to Tim "Wild Thang" Lepard, who discovered through trial and error the secret to making it work: Pop-Tarts.

"I can train a monkey to ride a dog in three days," Lepard says. "It's just time, patience, love, care, Pop-Tarts."
