[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do lots of short trips to parks, two hour trips to visit relatives.  She is 30 lbs and always harnessed using a pet harness designed for use in cars.  She is well behaved in the car--the harness is for safety in case of an accident.  Your kid is in a car seat, why wouldn't you do the same for your pet?  And I have heard terrible accounts of dogs surviving car accidents only to be run over and killed when they jump out of a damaged vehicle into oncoming traffic in the chaotic aftermath.  Unsecured pets have irresponsible owners.[/quote]

Ok, calling owners of pets that are unsecured in a car irresponsible is completely unnecessary. You have no way of knowing that.[/quote]

Wait. Yes she does. Anyone who says he/she lets the dog roam free in a car IS irresponsible, at least in this area. It is not safe for the animal or the driver.

Really, it is not safe for anyone. An unsecured dog is going to [b]become a missile[/b][i] in case of an accident or a sudden stop from high speeds. There is no real two sides to this. You need to secure your dog, and ideally, it would be in some form of a doggie seatbelt.

Well I guess I will just have to stop allowing my dog in the car then. Because some are saying the harnesses are unsafe, and some insist they need to be in a harness... [/quote]
