The Velo-Dog… was a pocket revolver originally created in France by René Galand… in the late 19th-century as a defense for cyclists against dog attacks. The name is a compound word composed of “velocipede” and “dog”.
Some additional context during the period France had a large amount of feral dogs. Also for fellow dog lovers they did make less-lethal ammunition for these. The name Velo-Dog is used to refer to a class of guns (pocket carry small caliber revolvers) from that period rather than a specific make and model.

Coincidence that they’re both the same length.
That guy in number 11 looking super happy because he doesn’t have to lug his giant weiner around town anymore.
That was the very first type of Velocipede too, IIRC (unlikely) it was patented in 1817. You rode it by walking with it and kinda fence rail riding it down hill. It’s wooden with wagon wheels and absolutely no brakes.
As a hardcore roadie, it has always been a weiner transporter, but what isn’t, even most Karens have one.
