Meet the real life Gromit - a Great Dane that loves to ride around in his owner’s motorbike SIDECAR.

Pooch Diego enjoys feeling the wind blowing through its ears and watching the world go by - just like Wallace's famous dog.

Diego stands at over two metres and comes running when he hears the former Russian military motorbike engine start up.

He jumps straight into his cushioned sidecar next to owner, Carlos Da Silva, 45.

Diego dons dog-goggles and the pair five, head into the streets around Bethnal Green, London, to delight passers by with the unique sighting.

At traffic lights they are often swarmed by people trying to get a snap of the unlikely pair and Diego laps up the attention and is even said to pose for the camera.

Carlos and wife, Elenice Ribeiro, 46, have another Great Dane puppy, Nelson, one, who they hope one day he will follow in Diego’s very large footsteps.
