Dog bascuits?

Yesterday, I was walking down a desolate street when I heard a loud ringing bell coming up from behind me. I turn around and it was someone on a bicycle coming full steam ahead. He was pretty far away, but he kept ringing and ringing the bell, so I made sure to clear the pathway. As he approached, I saw it was an older gentleman. I didn't notice it at first, but when I looked twice, I saw he had a little dog with him! The dog was sitting in the front basket of the bicycle. Luckily, I had my camera out at the time and I just managed to get a picture off. It's very hard to tell from the picture, but look inside the basket and you'll see the gray puppy (There is some newspaper in the basket for comfort).
