The sidecar-riding dog making people smile

Meet Louis. He is an eight-year-old St Bernard dog who is getting a LOT of attention.

That's thanks to his owner Alan, who has created an unusual way for the pair to get around... by motorbike!

No, Louis isn't ON the motorbike, he has his own specially adapted side-car to sit in comfortably for any journeys.

Alan, who is 78, and Louis ride around their hometown in Cambridgeshire, and they catch a lot of attention along the way.

"People smile as soon as they see us and we've had people overtake us and stop and get out just to take pictures," Alan said.

And its not just those watching who enjoy themselves, Louis is a big fan of his mode of transport as well.

"As soon as I get his harness out, he yanks, which he doesn't normally, but he gets quite excited because he knows he is going in the sidecar," said Alan.

Alan is now working on making a a "doggy caravan" for Louis so they can enjoy more adventures together.

Well, we think Louis deserves it... he seems a wheelie good boy!
