"Outside" Magazine article on Dean jumping with his dog
clicky

As I do not know Dean or his dog, I will not comment on the subject.
And I wish both of you many happy landings...

I don't see anything unethical here... Whisper was having a blast. I wish I could jump with my dog but I wouldn't, Because I know my dog! and he would be scared shitless. Much worse things happening in our world than flying dogs. Now I want to see dean throw a pig in that rig. Then I assume hell would freeze over. Crazy

Cool Dean and his best friend are having fun together. I assume because you are German you do not have love for our American fun-loving ways. Its all schematics and ethics and other "ic's" for you.

lol jk

carry on Laugh

edit - I just actually read the article and I laughed when I read this:
"and a 10-millimeter climbing rope that is, Potter points out, eight times safer for Whisper since she is an eighth of his weight."

bahahaha awesome Laugh

And if you did know Dean, you would know that his relationship with Whisper is probably more intimate than his relationships to most living beings in his world,.. and if he thinks Whisper likes/loves to fly with him, I have no doubt that that's the way it is,...
he is unique,and an amazing individual,,.... Great stuff,.. and we should all live our lives as we see fit, and if others don't like it, they can stuff it!!!

And I'm pretty sure Whisper would agree,... :-)

Just saw dean/whisper the other day. It is very true that Dean loves that dog more than almost anything in this world. Hes also definitely a guy who couldnt give a crap about the general publics criticism, or even approval of what hes doing.

These dogs really, really enjoy doing CRW. They pester their master until we take them up.

After landing, they are very, very excited.

Their master's name is Dene.
