I used to fly control line at a school yard where a strange dog would show up to watch me get everything set up. Once airborne, he/she waited for the plane to come around, then he would leap into the air trying to snatch it. He was good about letting it land to get refueled and launched again.
Another great topic would be eagles and squirrel monkeys at the FF, but I would never bring my pet eagle and his squirrel monkey "pilot" [that rides him horseback] out to the field..either...
