I think the dog is not supposed to made to sit in bikes. They're not physically equipped to establish stability and grip.

When a heavy vehicle like a bus comes close, the dog can get scared and jump away, pushing the owner under the bus. I heard that a biker has died like that once.

Cat enjoying a bike ride
This is not the first time a pet was seen riding behind its owner. Last year in the month of December, a photo of a cat in Mumbai riding on a bike had left netizens amused. In the image, the cat appeared to be riding a bike and had a seemingly unperturbed look about it.
The pictures show a cat riding on the pillion seat of a bike as a man drives the bike in the middle of a busy street. The cat barely looked afraid or anxious. The location where the pictures were clicked is not certain but the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority logo in the background, as well as the partially visible licence plate, suggests that the bike-riding cat is from Mumbai.
