I would NEVER consider taking my Cocker Spaniel on my motorcycle like that. A side car or three wheel - maybe. I think LEO would stop an arrangement like that and perhaps a citation would be issued.
I see ABSOLUTELY no humor, what-so-ever, in that picture. I feel no sorrow for the idiot driving the cycle. It's the poor dog - when everything goes south and it ends in a crash.
It is very obvious that many folks do not understand the differing stability issues between two wheels and three or four wheels.
Sorry...........
