How many times have you seen a car driving by and you notice that there is a dog on the drivers lap and also probably sticking their head out the window.  This is a severe distraction for the driver that can easily lead to a car accident.  The front passenger seat is not much better.  The dog hanging out the window is a target for flying debris.  Additionally, in the case of an accident with vehicles that have air bags, the air bag deploys at about 200 mph.  What do you think that would do to a dog?<\/p>\n

An unrestrained dog, whether it is the front seat or the rear area, is a deadly missile that can and will cause injury to itself and others in an accident.  We owe it to them and ourselves to act in a proper and safe manner with our pets.  I would not expect to see a driver allowing a child to be hanging out on the drivers lap or sticking their head out the window.  Yeah, on occasion we do see it, poor kid.  Most people however would not allow this to occur with children, but they do with their pet.  Why?<\/p>\n

Pets should be secured in a restraint (i.e. Ruff Rider) or a travel kennel.  Our pets are counting on us to make the best decisions for their safety.  Let’s show them we love them by securing them when we bring them with us in the car.<\/p>\n
