    a lot of people do it around here too. with smaller dogs that fit in their laps. Gracie always stays in the back seat with the windows UP. beanie gets the front seat because he automaticly lays down and hangs on for dear life. my grandma's shih tzu sits in my grandpa's lap when he drives the truck she's well behaved, but i still tell them it's too dangerous. a man actually just had a car accident not too long ago because his dog jumped on his lap.
    Owned by two little pastries!


    REST IN PEACE GRACIE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.

    Nope, don't do it.. and thankfully I don't see very many people who do. I think it's one of the dumbest things you can do while driving. The dog can get killed if you get in an accident, get something blown into its eye, move the steering wheel, move the shifter, or if it's small enough, it can hop onto the floor and get in the way of the accelerator and/or brake pedal. I don't see why people can't leave their dog in the back (or ideally, a crate) while they're driving.. is it so hard to do?
