Biker Dog rides on despite pet group’s complaint

These are some tough times for Chopper the Biker Dog.

Chopper might be among the most famous therapy dogs but when he and his owner returned from a trip that included visiting VA hospitals and nursing homes, his owner found out that Pet Partners, a nonprofit group that evaluates and insures therapy animals, is dropping Chopper because he wears a biker outfit.

It apparently doesn’t allow dogs to be dressed in costume.

“A costume is just not appropriate for going to the hospital,” according to a spokesperson for Pet Partners.

Chopper and his pals couldn’t give a rip.
