\u201870s folk\u2011rock legend James Taylor <\/strong>may be known for his sweet, soft melodies on hits like \u201cFire & Rain,\u201d and the singer is also an avid dog lover. The 77\u2011year\u2011old \u201cCarolina in My Mind\u201d singer is a dog dad to at least two Pugs<\/a><\/strong>, Bean <\/strong>and Bosun<\/strong>, and often features them on his social media accounts. Taylor\u2019s TikTok video features one of the pugs taking the easy route on a walk, all to the soundtrack of one of Taylor\u2019s most iconic songs.<\/p>\n In the charming video shared to Taylor\u2019s TikTok account, the spry singer can be seen walking a long path with one of his furry buddies nestled in his backpack for the ride, while his other pug trots on leash swiftly behind.<\/p>\n \u201cBean hitchhiking a ride from dad\u2026 Bosun doesn\u2019t approve,\u201d Taylor captioned the video, which features Taylor\u2019s own \u201cOctober Road\u201d as the aptly titled soundtrack.<\/p>\n Taylor looks happy and content with Bean catching a ride as the group energetically tackles the day\u2019s walk.<\/p>\n Taylor later takes Bean out of his cozy spot in the backpack and puts him on a leash, where the little pup joins buddy Bosun on a trail walk through the woods.<\/p>\n \u201cMade me smile,\u201d shared one fan, while another added, \u201cWatching a musical legend on a hike with his dog accompanied by a cool song is just terrific.\u201d<\/p>\n Bean and Bosun are perfect examples of the liveliness and energy of Pugs, known to be highly intelligent dogs who thoroughly enjoy physical exercise. But Pugs are prone to heat sensitivity, so they should get regular walks\u2014but not during the hottest times of day.<\/p>\n PugHealth.org<\/a> recommends Pugs get at least one walk per day, or two shorter interval walks, which could help your pooch avoid overheating.<\/p>\n Pugs love off\u2011leash play in a secure area, thriving on mental stimulation as much as physical. And these sweet, small dogs aren\u2019t big fans of rain and wind, which can wreak havoc on their eyes.<\/p>\n So while it\u2019s not necessary to carry your Pug in a backpack James Taylor\u2013style, it is important to walk your Pug in the early morning or evening on hot days, and avoid cool and damp conditions when possible.<\/p>\n And always bring a collapsible bowl of water\u2014after all that walking and playing will make your precious pooch thirsty.<\/p>\n Related: Pug and Golden Retrievers’ Fun-Filled ‘Mud Day’ Is Giving People Life<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade Pets<\/a> on Oct 17, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
