It bothers me a lot, too. I try to avoid saying too much on the subject, though, just because at least those people want their dog with them. Eh, I will voice my opinion on it when asked, but, for the most part, it's one topic I don't devote too much energy into...I did, however, get into it the other day with someone on the subject of spay and neuter. That's one I won't soften my voice on. I try to choose my battles, or I'd be arguing all the time. It does make me really sad to see dogs in truck beds, though. But, again, at least they want their dog with them. Better than being left behind, but, still not as good as a safe ride for the dog.
