Lonely dog goes on doggy drive

A lonely dog, who hated being left alone while his owners went out motorbiking, has been given a novel way to be included in their hobby.

Harley, a 17-month-old St Bernard, travels with his owners Alan and Tina Valkeith in the sidecar of their motorbike. They decided to travel with him by their side, so that he wouldn’t get lonely when they went out.

He wears a special doggy helmet, harness and goggles, so that he is secure and protected from the wind and sun.

This solution came as Alan and Tina realised they could no longer go out on their motorbikes together, as one of them had to stay at home to keep Harley company.

“Buying the bike with a sidecar seemed like the ideal solution,” Mr Valkeith said, “and Harley loves it!”
