Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Stan the flying dog paragliding through the sky.
Adventure-loving Stan "doesn't like being indoors for too long" and instead prefers to jump from cliffs with his owner, Alex Colbeck, 34, from North Yorkshire.
The six-year-old miniature schnauzer has his own custom-made doggy harness that allows him to see spectacular views from high up.
The daredevil pup isn't at all afraid of heights and loves people-watching - though often gets a little too excited mid-air when he sees squirrels.
Alex said: "I thought that riding in a car, boat or other transport must be equally strange for a dog, so why not try paragliding?"

Alex, an IT contractor, continued: "Stan is used to being around paragliders launching and landing, so the sights and sounds don't phase him.
"I introduced him to his harness, which securely fastens to my own harness, on a few occasions before he went flying.
"And then on his first flight, I clipped him in and off we went.
"I was watching him closely and praising him the whole time during the flight and I could not see any sign of fear or anxiety.
"I landed after a couple of minutes, unclipped him and he seemed fine, so we went for two more slightly longer flights that day.
"Once we're in the air, Stan is pretty much resting on my lap, inside of his harness.
"He just watches the world go by on the ground below while a give him a stroke.
"I can see his head moving as he watches people on the beach or the sheep in the fields."
Stan has flown over Marske-by-the-Sea and on a hill near Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales.
Being able to fly with his dogs adds another aspect to the sport that Alex already loves.
He says the pair can go for a walk up a hill or mountain and instead of walking down, they can enjoy a flight together which adds some extra excitement and incredible views.
Alex explained: "I have a paraglider wing and harness for myself and one for Stan which is a custom made doggy harness.
"All the equipment is made with extremely strong materials by professional manufacturers, much like skydiving equipment.
"Stan is very chilled out and obedient in most situations, apart from when he sees a squirrel.
"I spent hours training him as a puppy and we have an extremely strong bond.
"He goes wherever I go. He has a great life and spends lots of time outdoors enjoying long walks in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
"People are pretty surprised when they see us paragliding together and most people have never seen anything like it before. It comes as a surprise to most!"
