SWing'R Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 ...Seeing people driving with loose dogs in the bed of their pickup truck.It bothers me because if the driver needs to make any sudden/evasive movethe dog(s) can end up on the highway.The truck I just saw on 71S about 20minutes ago had two dogs in back, fairly good sized dogs, one was calm and staying down, the other was obviously anxious about being back there or traffic, he was pacing from side to side and standing up on the sides of the bed.As a dog owner, this just really bothers me. I treat the safety of our dogin our car just as important as a human passenger, he wears a harness on long trips that secures him to the seatbelt so in the event of an accident he doesn't end up in the windshield!Maybe it's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I wouldn't say it makes me mad, but it's not something I would do. Some dogs love it, and I don't think they're that much safer in the cab if there's an accident.The seat-belt harness is something I need to look into.

Shifty Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 So say your riding your bike down the highway at 60 with no glasses, what do your eyes feel like? What if a bug were to hit you in the eye?Just one danger to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes, it's f'd up. I hate seeing dogs in truck beds.Jagr - That vid is f'd up. DAMN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Those are usually farm dogs, not your run of the mill wimpy house dog. If you drive around with you dog in a seatbelt, just know that the other dogs are laughing at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've seen a dog get bounced out the back of truck riding like that at about 50MPH. It was barely breathing after it stopped bouncing and heard it eventually died from the injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 So say your riding your bike down the highway at 60 with no glasses, what do your eyes feel like? What if a bug were to hit you in the eye?you do know that dogs LOVE shoving their heads out the window even in a passenger compartment right? It doesn't make me mad because I consider most people inherently stupid so its just a fact of life. If I had a dog, not a chance I would put it in bed unless a) someone was there with him or b) I had a truck capI would say most dogs who are trained properly could handle being the back of a truck but again people are inherently stupid and don't know how to train dogs in the first place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've dealt with a rescue dog that was tossed from a moving vehicle. The dog eventually passed away from other health complications, but the road rash wasn't pretty.The dog was a doberman mix, and he was just so happy to have attention. I damn near cried every time I saw him. Secondhand Mutts now does an annual "bacon, eggs, and pancakes breakfast" fund raiser in his memory.The first one was to cover the cost of all his vet bills. This past year was to raise money for other dogs' vet bills. Given that my pup came to SHM with a broken leg, I'm supremely grateful for the fact that they accept injured and sick animals into their adoption program.

jagr Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 A lady was telling her neighbor that she saw a man driving apick-up truck down the interstate, and a dog was hanging onto thetail gate for dear life! She said if the pick-up truck driverhadn’t been going so fast in the other direction, she would havetried to stop him. A few weeks later, her neighbour saw this truck at theBass Pro Shop in Daphne, Alabama. The pick-up truck driver isMike Guillotte - a local taxidermist with a great sense of humour!** PS: It’s not a dog - it’s a coyote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
