A poodle riding a scooter sounds like the sort of thing you might see if you eat too much cheese before bed.
But for one Newcastle DJ, it was all very real when he saw the bizarre scene on Blackett Street at 7.20pm on Thursday evening. Elliot Adamson was returning home from the shops when he saw a woman riding a scooter with the dog standing on its hind legs in front of her and holding onto the handlebars.
He said: "I was walking home and I saw it out of the corner of my eye. My phone was in my pocket and I was rushing about everywhere to get my phone out because I just needed it on video.

"I'd been getting my food shopping and my hands were full with bags so I had to put them down to get it and quickly swivel, otherwise I would have had it a bit longer. It's a good dog, its hair's dyed green and it's got a haircut and little mini boots - I didn't realise that until I watched it back frame by frame."
Though Elliot often takes photos and videos of dogs in Newcastle, he's not seen anything quite this weird before. He continued: "I felt like I'd just given birth to my first child, it's the most amazing video I've ever taken!
"It went nuts on my phone, people were messaging me saying is this in New York? And I was like, nah, Newcastle."
And though we don't know the identity of the mystery woman or poodle, Elliot has a theory on where they'd been.
He added: "It's like it's been to the salon and it's on it's way back. I also like to think that she's the one getting a backer."
