A few years ago I witnessed an accident that involved 2 older people in a truck and the dog was apparently in the lady (passenger) arms. When the truck hit the car, the dog was sent through the windshield and was so far away no one that stopped either saw the dog, or knew of him until the lady (both were hurt severly) was able to tell us about the dog.
The dog apparently went through the windshield, head first :eek: and was laying in someone's backyard :eek: it took over an hour for all of us to search for this dog........and it was too late :( :mad:
Out here in AZ we see a LOT of pick up trucks with dogs in the back, and NONE of them are straped in. The poor dogs do not know how to brace themselves for a accident or quick stops. To me, this is part of being a responsible pet owner.
This is NOT meant to bash anyone, just a warning on what might, and can happen if your beloved pet (both cats & dogs) are not strapped in. You would just be devastated if something happened to them while driving. Think about it.
