THIS is the barking mad moment a motorbiker is caught riding with her pet pooch strapped to her chest – before making a bizarre excuse to cops.

The rider was fined a hefty $376 after cops pulled over to question why the 35-year-old was on a ruff ride with her dog in such a dangerous way.

The Queensland woman claimed that she had bought the harness device online from Chinese e-commerce platform Temu.

She was stopped by officers from Sunshine Coast Highway Patrol at Alexandra Headland at around 2pm on May 17.

The Australian biker said after being caught: “Yeah, no, I didn’t know [it was illegal].”

She added: “I bought this off Temu.”

Stunning footage recorded by the police revealed the instant an officer spotted a motorcyclist speeding down the street with her pet dog in the periphery of his vision.

Realising what he had just witnessed, he rushed forward to catch up with the pair.

When he reached them while stopped in traffic, the dog appeared to be very relaxed, and seemingly soaked in the sunlight with its golden locks.

Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho then approached the unassuming rider.

The police officer started talking to the pair and they both turned their heads in confusion.

Panoho told the woman that the strange device could easily have placed the driver and her furry friend in harm’s way.

Amazed, he said: “I’ve never seen the whole harness thing before.

“You can’t be riding around with the dog in between your arms.

He added: “If he starts moving around and going off anything can happen, and that is going to cause you to crash.”

The dog remained extremely relaxed during the ordeal, looking ahead and occasionally poking its tongue out.

Cops then put out a notice to fellow bikers to inform them that this practice was not acceptable.

They said said all riders had to be safe and responsible on the roads, even though “the dog seemed to be comfortable on the bike”.

Sergeant Panoho said: “We know how attached some people are to their pets, but its best to apply a paws-off approach when it comes to our roads.

“The motorcyclist had bought the harness from an online store without considering the safety risks, especially if the dog were to respond to other vehicles, people, or animals on the road.”

The driver was given a $376 traffic infringement fine for riding with an animal between her arms.
