Giddyup! This is one of the Gnomes of Oakland riding on the Willie the Terrier. The Gnomes have short legs and can't run very fast so they have hired Willie to carry them around the Lake Merritt area when they travel under the cover of night. They like to stay close to the lake where they can gather clover, fresh water and some of the nicest twigs and paper scraps in town. During the day you can sometimes catch them resting on the telephone poles, which are not only their bus stops for Willie but also their preferred perches for keeping watch over the neighborhood.
