Around here it is a every day site. Seeing several dogs in the bed of a truck, laying on top of the tool box etc etc. I hate it so much, but they don't think a thing about it. They say their dogs love riding in the back of the truck and they know to stay in. Yep, my Tuffy loves to get in the back of truck, but I don't care, he's not going to ride there, even if he likes it. He's rides are about 1 min, of us pulling the trailer out of the field to the yard, at 2 mph. That's it for him.

Some people, I see have their dog chained to the bed of their truck, thinking that makes them safer. They are so wrong.

One day my friend and I where driving down the road behind a truck with his two dogs in the back, both chained. One dog was on top of his tool box, the other in the bed of the truck. Well, this woman in front of us, ran into the railing of a bridge, we where crossing. So us and the truck had to slam on our brakes.

Needless to say, the dog on the tool box, slid off the side of the truck, hanging by the chain, on the side wall of the truck bed. The other dog went slamming against the back of the tool box and then up against the wall of the bed.

I was so torn between helping this old woman, or the dogs, Luckily Jan help the woman and I helped the man with his dogs. Both the dogs where hurt, pretty bad, but I really thought that the one dog should have been killed, it's a miracle he wasn't.

Trucks bed and dogs = bad news.
