MS Dog of the Year Competition

[Stephen]

I am hereby submitting my entry for the (completely contrived - by me) MooneySpace dog of the year contest. My entry is my daughter's dog "Juniper." Here qualifications are as experienced Mooney flight crew, she has Mooney Zoom (throw her tennis ball and all will become clear),  and this:

@bonal, Juniper saw your posting of St. Bernards in the TP thread figured she wouldn't be out-done.

Adorable.

I thought you were talking about my Mooney.. It's been reliable and faithful generally speaking but a bit of a dog when it comes to speed ...

[jlunseth]

Is that the last roll in the house, and therefore needs to be portable?

[carusoam]

Signs of naturally aspirated speed...

No compressor mounted on the front, Long body, and short legs...

Check the dog’s tag... if the ID number starts with a 29-   Juniper may be an Ovation...

Dog looks like it wants to say “why are you punishing me by making me do this?”

Now that I'm Mooneyless, Yogi can't enter the DOY competition.  Here he is on his return flight from the 2014 MAPA Homecoming at Kerrville.

Oh come-on?!  I mean those dogs are very cute.

But where's the Mooney?

When I hit this click bait I figured I would see a dog flying a Mooney.

IFR

Right seat.

Solo.

Dead stick.

In the mountains.

In a thunderstorm.

At night.

In ice.

GPS inop.

Vacuum failure.

With one paw tied behind his back.

And a scarf, aviator goggles and leather hat.  Looking cool as a pup.

Chasing a ball?  That's all?!  I'm truly disappointed even if they are very cute.

My dog prefers sitting in the back of my 67 M20F with her mutt muffs and harness on.

I think @neilpilot has you covered for some of that list...with that look of concentration he must be flying a low approach!

Neil got close.  But I’m concerned hypoxia made Yogi drowsy.  He’s actually resting on the yoke.  Or, he needed that much aileron hold due to the W&B differences from the right to left seats.

I think he is allowed. He obviously has some skills.

I'm not sure if my girl Strava likes flying. But doesn't she look great in her flight jacket and headset?  Queen of the FBO.

Now there's the winner!  IFR - check!  Right seat?  Check!  Deadstick, in the mountains, at night, in ice, gps and vacuum inop?  I will take your word on it -' but that dog is taking this whole thin in strive and doesn't look a wee bit nervous even.  In fact she looks down right bored!  Maybe you should give her some good reading like a nice POH?

Love them dogs, now to us Magneto is the obvious winner and I'm sure you all feel that way about your pups. But who can argue that this isn't the happiest face you've ever seen.

Bella the boxer doesn't fly because she gets gas.

[ottorecker]

OLE the dog

LOL........that can sure make cabin occupants a bit uncomfortable indeed ! 

Bella is darling looking .

Chill’n at the hangar, the runt of a litter of 13 pups born on the field. 18 months and 70+ lbs later

Back in the Old Days when we had a TR182, Casey-The-Wonder-Dog had aspired to be a First Officer, but could never stay awake.

[mooneygirl]

I love this a hundred different ways.... of course Mooney Lucas Aviation Puppy has to be in consideration....  400 hours in the Mooney, only thrown up once in the airplane [and considering the company I was keeping, I should have too]. Always greets folks with a smile [at Oceano Airport or any other event we are at] and is an all around good guy.

How could you declare a winner before I post photos of my oldest dog protecting my Zulu Pi Baby?
