Not a bike, but another dog !
Lulu was found abandoned on the streets in Buckinghamshire, emaciated, starving, and with a horrible ear infection. Scars on her face, tears in her ears, and what look like cigarette burns on her body. An employee at the council dog pound rang a friend of hers who fosters dogs when possible, and Lulu was fostered on the very day she was due to be put to sleep.
5 weeks later, my wife observed the foster mum trying to entice Lulu out the back of her car for her first walk in Windsor Great Park. A conversation started, telephone numbers exchanged.
My daughter bought her first home last year, and has wanted a rescue dog for as long as I can remember. It was very much right place, right time, and Lulu has been with her a week now;

Never had a Lurcher before but I've got to say what a lovely breed they are. This is the most loving, laid back dog ever. How anyone could be so horrible to such a sweet natured dog is beyond me. Needless to say, her life is gonna be full of love and affection from now on. She has even been accepted by my 2 spanners !!

When the lamping season finishes, or a dog is no longer useful for hunting, they are cast onto the streets to meet their fate. The foster Mum used to volunteer at our local RSPCA, and at least 20 dogs a day were put to sleep - all the dog charities are the same sadly. The Dog programmes on the Tv - "Paul O Grady", "In the Dog house" etc present a picture that is far from reality, and the sad cases far outweigh the happy ones
