SAN DIEGO, July 7 (UPI) -- A patriotic biker taking a Fourth of July motorcycle ride in California was spotted with a helmet-wearing dog strapped to his back.

The video, captured and posted to YouTube by BMX star Shawn White, shows a man decked out in stars and stripes riding down Interstate 5 in the San Diego area.

The filmer gets closer to the motorcyclist, revealing a dog strapped to his back.

The canine appears to be following Rule 1 of motorcycle safety -- its wearing a tiny canine helmet.

"Now that's what I call a Hot Dog!" White joked in the video's description.

The canine appears much safer than a dog seen standing on the back of a moving moped last week in Greece without any safety equipment.
