Obviously we've all seen people on motorbikes carrying goats, sheep etc in foreign countries but what have you seen people carry on a motorbike in this country? I've seen a dork with small dogs in a carrier strapped to the back of a bike a few times but today some bloke had a bloody duck in a special backpack. Obviously attention seeking as he was stroking it and giving it water to drink. Imagine all that poop in the bottom of the bag
. I said 'what's up duck to him'

there was a famous pair in NZ a few years back. Max and Rastus. Max found Rastus as a kitten dumped at a motorbike swap meet, and the two were inseparable since. They both became well known and and were ambassadors for the RSPCA for a number of years. Unfortunately they were subsequently killed (and a human pillon) by a hit on collision where an approaching car crossed into their lane.

Has your son ever come off a motorbike? How would he feel if he did fall off and the dog got killed or injured?

Dog looks like he's lining up for the next turn.

He's had a couple of offs , only one with the dog , he rides super cautious when he takes the dog , the dog loves being on the bike .
He feels the same way about the dog as you would with any passenger/pillion and would feel guilty as hell if anything happened to him .
