Balinese I Ketut Widanta or known as Lelut rides to collect fodder with his dogs sits on his motorbike in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia on November 05, 2021. Lelut becomes famous for his attractive style of carrying six of his rescued dogs with a modified motorbike while collecting food waste from restaurants. Currently, he takes care of twenty rescued dogs which some of them were dumped by the owners on the street due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
