LONDON -- Police in Gloucestershire have launched an enquiry after a dog was photographed riding on the back of a motorcycle.
The photo was taken recently by a member of the public who notified Gloucestershire Constabulary.
Here's the shot in full.
"A member of the public reported the incident near the Capita building in Bishop's Cleeve at 6.30pm on Wednesday 27 April after seeing a dog on the back of a motorbike," a spokesperson from Gloucestershire Constabulary told Mashable.
"Enquiries are now ongoing into the incident."
The dog in the photo appears to have been secured with a little jacket and some straps to fix it to the top of the motorbike's luggage box.
So in the world of motorbike riding, how common is this practice?
A quick search on eBay for motorcycle pet carrier shows that you can actually purchase special storage for motorbikes which allow a dog to be secured but still stick its head out for fresh air.
This blog post titled "3 tips for motorcycle riding with your dog" also mentions the benefits of a pet carrier for smaller dogs.
None of them look like the setup in this case, though.
