Westley rode a galloping horse round and round the carousel. He was held on with a leather strap, and by a loving mother.

Westley's next ride was on the back of a dog. He had to peer past a zebra to see the camera.

Westley and his mother marveled at something just out of view beyond the frame of the photograph. The dog's eyes were harder to track, and might have been looking the same direction.

The carousel came to a stop and Westley appeared sad to disembark. And so another page in Westley's book of life came to an end.
