I upcycled a rusty old bike and became Blackpool's first mobile dog treat vendor
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
A man converted a rusty old bike he found on E-Bay - into a colourful mobile dog-treat business - which is shown in the video above.
Watch as Scott Knighton, 30, rides his 'Woof Truck' through Stanley Park, where he hands out healthy yet tasty treats to furry customers - including rescue dogs from the Homeless Hounds shelter who were invited for a fun trip out to collect some donated biscuits.

The live-in carer wanted to start a side-hustle that would get him out of the house to improve his mental health, and now sells a variety of treats all based on human favourites including Paw-bons and Paw-reos.
The stretched beach cruiser bike looks ‘completely different’ to how it looked when Scott bought it - and says he often gets stopped to take pictures of the quirky and colourful bike. He also sells products on Tik Tok and has started arranging doggy meet-ups which are livestreamed on social media.
The video above is taken from a forthcoming episode of Unconventional Brits, which airs weekly on Shots! TV - the official Freeview channel of the Blackpool Gazette. Watch the full series here https://www.shotstv.com/playlist/5931/unconventional-brits
