Yes, it drives me crazy. Fortunately, we really do not see it that much around here. Almost all dogs ride in the cabs of trucks around here. But what a great contrast your other picture is. :) Three happy, healthy, and safe puppers going on an adventure. What a cute picture. :)
That's exactly what I thought too Joyce. What a CONTRAST when you see three dogs being loved and cared for as they should inside a vehicle (cute picture!!). My heart breaks for that dog in the truck. Imagine how he/she is treated at home too. It probably isn't much better. :(Quote:

Grrr :mad: yes I can't STAND to see that!
Yes is bothers me! Some people have no brains!
But on a good note, LOVE the photo of the pups!
I hate it too. If someone was in the back with them and they were going slow, say if they were hunting then that's a different story, but to just have them in the back for no good reason upsets me.
Oh that bothers me SOOOO much, especially seeing as there isn't even a gate on the back of it & the dog is standing on junk, causing him not to get a good grip. The fact they are going 65 sure isn't good either.
I see that once in a while up here (not winter time thankgod) and it irks the heck out of me.
:(
That really bugs me too! No gate to boot!
The dog-sitter I use has a pickup truck (very nice, brand new) and will take dogs to the dogpark while you're away, she ties them in the bed of the truck-- but I thought to myself..."no way I'd let my dogs ride, even tied, in the back of a pickup truck!"
Scares the bee-geebers out of me!
(now just look at your three sweeties - cuteness overload!)
Yes, I hate that, and I see it almost everyday. Your pups look great! I hope you all had a fun camping trip.
I thought I was the only kid who grew up like that. Haha. We too had a cap on the bed of my dads truck and he bought a van seat at a garage sale to put in the back for us kids. He secured the seat in the back and we rode back there, our dog sat back there with us too. And just like you we had that middle window, only our dog was small and could fit through it.Quote:

Absolutely - it's something I am glad we never see around here. Our dogs rode in the back of Dad's pickup sometimes - when we kids were there, and it had a seat up against the cab of the truck, and a cap on the bed so none of us could fly out.
my dad dose it to take the dogs out to the feild but thats not even a minute's drive he used to tie them on but now they are used to it and also he dosent have crap in the back of his truck and stuff,i know for a fact mine wouldn jump out they wait till the back is undone, also maybe that guy had just found that dog and he was saving it, many diff situations that could take place for that.
that should be made illegal.. so dangerous.
That so annoys me when I see it that it makes my blood boil! I feel so badly for the dogs, who could fall or jump out at any time. Anyone that claims to truly love their dogs would not let them ride like that.
Oh my gosh it bothers me soo much too!! we were driving down the highway in houston with my aunt and this little sports car goes puling out in front of us and there was this little poodle on the back just about to fall off!!!!:eek: and i mean this car was going FAST and the freeway is so scary.. you never know whats going to happen.. so my aunt followed the car until we made sure the poodle was safely in the car again:) ..but some owners just dont think:rolleyes:
i love your dogs! they are cute.
i was watching 'emergency vets' on TV and they had a dog come in. what happened was the dog was tied up in the back of the pick-up and he jumped out. he got his tail stuck under the tire and it ripped all the fur off. they had to amputate it. this sounds disguisting but its true. its soooo sad. the ppl who owned the dog just left it outside of the vet place and left and didn't come back. i dont know how ppl can be so cruel!!
>.< gerrr. I HATE that! The poor pup looks soo scared and uncomfortable, he's a BC too! I know that my BC would die if I put him in the back of an open pick-up... and he's on top of a bunch of junk. It's also illegal to have unsecured dogs in the back of pick-ups here, but I wish they had to be crated too. I know that I wouldn't have too much fun, even if I was a leashed up dog, sliding around the back of a pick-up while it's going 70 on the freeway. I always see people with their dogs huddled in the back, sliding around, while they have a perfectly vaccant passenger seat in the cab!!!
I wish you could've reported him too :rolleyes:
