A Queensland woman has been handed a $376 fine after a police officer pulled her over for riding a motorcycle with a dog harnessed to her chest.

The 35-year-old rider was spotted on May 17 navigating Alexandra Parade at Alexandra Headland around 2 p.m. in the Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, with her four-legged passenger comfortably perched between her arms.
