Can you ride on a dog back?

While it may be possible for a dog to support a small child for a short distance, it is generally not advisable to ride on a dog's back. Dogs, even large breeds, are not designed to carry extra weight, and doing so can put strain on their backs, legs, and joints, leading to pain and injury. Additionally, riding on a dog can make the dog feel stressed and anxious, and could potentially lead to aggression or other behavioral problems.
