Even animals can be peaceful although they’re enemies for a long time. So why humans can’t do it when animals can? The dog is called Booger, while the cat is Kitty and the white mice, Mousie - all owned by Greg Pike, a street performer who is known as the “dog-cat-mouse guy”. The dog, cat and mice can’t be peaceful by when they’re together by nature, but Greg Pike can make them sit on top of their enemies peacefully. The dog is carrying the cat, and the cat is carrying the mice.
This is Booger, Kitty and Mousie. Booger is the dog, Kitty the cat and Mousie, naturally, the mouse.
The entire balancing act belongs to Greg Pike, a popular street performer known as the "dog-cat-mouse guy" to locals in Bisbee, a remote US town two miles north of the Mexico-Arizona border.

Pike is a familiar fixture on Bisbee's streets, where he stops on the footpath, stacks his pets atop one another and sets out a basket for donations.
He accepts cash from those wanting to photograph the dog, cat and mice perched atop each other.
Earlier this year Pike was arrested by Bisbee police for loitering to beg and doing business without a licence.
Within hours of his arrest, two community groups helped raised Pike's $US910 bail and a dozen people accompanied him to his plea hearing.
The city attorney almost immediately dropped the licence charge.
The county prosecutor, who had jurisdiction on the loitering count, took longer but ultimately reached the same conclusion.
"I don't verbally ask for money, I don't have any signs, and so it's a voluntary donation," Pike later told the Sierra Vista Herald newspaper.
"I feel I've been wronged. I want the Police Department to know that somebody owes me an apology."

Rahmetli halamın iki köpeği vardı. Bi tane de minnacık kedicik bulunca onu da alıp getirmişti eve ve hiç sorun olmamıştı. Köpekler yanyana iki koltukta yatarken aralındaki yüksekçe mindere de Minnoş (bizde bütün dişiler Minnoş :)) kurulur ve öylece uyurlardı.
