My dogs always rode in the front seat right beside me..............until..................

There was a very serious accident on one of our highways years ago. A dump truck plowed into the back of a station wagon. The only fatality in the accident was the golden retriever who had been sitting in the front seat. He went thru the windshield.

I went out and bought a seat belt for my dog the next day, and now that I have an SUV in training, I have a dog bars separating the very back from the back seat and that' where my dogs ride.
