00:00He hears a bike starting, or he sees me grab his little kit bag, he's got a little bag
00:15that he takes with him on the bikes, which is his doggles and a little bandana and poo
00:20bags and water and leashes and drinking bowls and some snacks, and as soon as he sees me
00:25grab those he comes and he gets on the back seat and this is his main seat here.
00:46This is his sort of main sort of pose that he has, every now and then a dog wanders by
00:53and he barks like crazy because he has to tell all the other dogs how cool he is and
00:57how sort of less cool they are.
01:00He interacts with people, other animals, and yeah he's just quite a spectacle and everybody
01:07will see them as pedestrians and guests as we walk down the road, they'll be waving and
01:11smiling and taking pictures and stuff of Brody.
01:17About ten years ago we decided we needed a workshop dog, or a meet and greet dog as
01:23it were.
01:24So we picked up Brody, he was a little four week old pup, he arrived at the depot and
01:29he then did his meet and greet duties, ran around the workshops and we used to have a
01:34lot of fun, grew up the first couple of months in the workshops and then all of a sudden
01:38one day he disappeared on a bike and we realised then that his value was more on the bikes
01:45than in the workshops, so from there onwards he was our famous Brody sidecar pooch that
01:52used to, that still does all the rides with me and rides wherever.
02:03Brody came along and he's very, very, he's got a wonderful personality, very laid, very
02:08chilled back, very sociable and a very calm and relaxed animal, so nothing really phases
02:13him, you know, big bangs, loud noises and we found that with him in the back seat as
02:18you can see right now, with a guest in the front, he not only is a great companion, makes
02:24it a lot more fun, he actually doubles up as a bit of a therapy dog, so every now and
02:28then we'll get somebody anxious on the side and he'll come along and cuddle them and put
02:31his snout on their shoulders and calm the guests down, so he has a wonderful disposition
02:37in that respect and as I say, he now has a situation where he's overbooked and we have
02:43to sort of cut back on the rides that he goes out on.
