Teo jumped into my sidecar when he was a puppy, and when I rescued Juju, at the front, a couple of years later, she settled into the remaining place immediately. She’s the sweetest and most loving dog. Now, when I head out on the bike, they even know in which order they should get into the sidecar.”
