For the race, a Capuchin monkey reportedly will be dressed up like a horse jockey and will jump on top of a dog, the television station reported. Then, monkey and dog will race around a small track.
Organizers said they got the idea when their pet monkey, Gilligan, started riding the family dog, KTRK reported.
