    If I heard the guy right...
    He mentioned a spill where the chain got caught in the wheel and the dog got the worse of it once...

    I've seen a fellow a few years back that a had an English Bulldog that rode the tank...

    It's always made me nervous to get behind the guys who carry their dogs loose in the truck bed...
    I'd just hate to run a dog over that fell out accidentally.

    I don't understand the species-ism of the back of the truck thing either.

    I spoke to a guy a while back whose German Shepherd would jump up at overpasses when he went under them.

    Once he fell out of the bed at 55MPH and skidded to a stop.

    He survived but lost some hide in the process.

    There is no substitute for safe regardless. My dog stays inside the vehicle period and knows to stay on the floor. When we stop, he gets up to check if we are there yet [:p] but assumes the floor space again once we are on the move. I even considered the dog safety belt but he does not like sitting on the seat esp for a long period.

    If he rides at the back of my pick up truck, he's in a kennel strapped securely.

    My Dane rides in the back seat & the Heeler rides on the console.
    Happy campers.

    Then you'd be pretty uncomfortable in Wyoming, where at any time there are 20,000 stock dogs riding on flatbed pickups. It's pretty easy for a dog to learn to stay in the truck, and dismounts are very, very rare.

    That was fun to watch. Dogs are great and I wish I could take my two on my motorcycle with me. I once saw a Great Dane riding in a sidecar on a decked out Harley. He looked like he was born to ride.

    Dogs in the bed irritate me as well. Like others I would hate to hit a dog that fell out or worse hit another vehicle trying to avoid it (natural instinct is to try to avoid).

    I see guys with these crew cab trucks and they will not allow their dogs to sit in the back seat. No one would do that to their child (at least I hope not).
