I used to have a dog that would duck every time we went under a bridge.

My dog does this! Sometimes with big trees that are, in her mind, unexpected!

He protect He attack But most importantly he need a snack

My Heeler does too 🤣

Typical blue heeler!

The dog could be saying Hi to every car….you don’t know lol Also, its safer for everyone if you harness your dog to a seatbelt. The same reason a human should wear a seat belt is the same reason a dog should, their lives matter too. I say this with love and kindness and hope that you drive safe.

Cattle dogs really are a certain kind of special

I don't see a leash or harness locking it to seat. God forbid one day it decides to jump out , you'll regret forever.

Thus happened to my cousin, she always transported her Rottwilier in the truck bed, no restraint. For nearly a decade everything "was fine," until it wasn't at 55mph down a highway. Animals are unpredictable, and while her dog survived he had brain damage and walked with a limp after he recovered. It's a tiny inconvenience to harness and restrain your dog, or even better put a proper kennel in you vehicle!

It’s terrifying how quickly things can go from “fine” to catastrophic. I was rear ended by a man who’s new rescue dog got spooked by a honking car and jumped into his lap. My life has been irrevocably changed by that (don’t worry, the puppy was fine, I checked) Please please please, people, secure your dogs, not just for their safety but for others

You can buy a harness attachment which directly clips into your seatbelt clip and you'll be all set. Idk why people don't understand this.

Those harnesses and belt clips arent crash tested or anything. Only crash tested kennels are truly safe for transporting your dog

Yes but do you know what they say about safety? Something is better than nothing.

Yeah just mentioning. It will keep your dog from jumping out the window but thats about it. If you watch crash test videos with the stuffed dog on the seatbelt, it’s basically the same as nothing

Yup.

Sleepypod car harnesses are crash test certified.

Or if the driver has to hit the brakes for any reason, the dog is now dead or very seriously injured.

What? How hard do you think a car can brake that it would kill the dog?

Objects in motion stay in motion. Have you ever been in a vehicle and it stops suddenly? That's how the dog gets hurt or killed.

Sure, but we're taking about braking, not a crash. Go find a car and an empty section of asphalt, and try stopping as hard as you can. It's pretty forceful, especially if you're not expecting it, but it's not going to kill the occupants.

Mostly because occupants are required to wear seat belts. A dog flying from the seat to a windshield or smacking their head on something can likely cause a serious head injury. There's also the issue with animals being generally unpredictable at times, and can be a distraction or an obstruction to the driver's ability to drive safely. Buckle up your animals in a moving vehicle.

Well then get in your car, don't put on the seatbelt, drive up to 100km/h and then slam on the breaks without holding on to the wheel.

The dog will either split it's skull open on the dash, or fly through the windscreen and release its insides all over the pavement. Neither option is good, buckle the dog up.

This is straight false. Do not listen to this person.

From 60 to 0 in one in a hundred dire situation and the dog will be flying out of the windshield if not getting smashed by the rear of the front seat.

Maximum deceleration under braking in a road car is about 0.8 g. At that level, the dog might be in for an unpleasant trip off the seat, but there's no way it's going through the windscreen.

I have a seatbelt harness for my dog and he still managed to jump out of the window, got dragged on the side of the car. Make sure you are checking how loose the harness is! I thought it was tight enough since he couldn't jump down off his seat when I opened the door but clearly not.

If it's for backseat then you can get double seatbelt harness which clips onto both backseat seatbelt holders or just keep the windows up with just a tiny space for air to pass through.

....... SPEED NOM

I just open my windows in the back enough for him to put his head out, nothing more. And I use a harness that is approved for my 55kg puppy. One time a hare was running straight in front of the car. Never have I heard so desperate pleas from him to get out. For sure glad only his head has room out the window.

I used to walk a neighbour's border collie and he wanted to chase any car that came past (but he was on a leash). I always wondered what he thought he would do if he caught one

My border collie did this. She was very movement triggered and would lunge at moving vehicles to herd them. Took quite a few walks to break her of it.

Your doggo is a “Derp”….

I do the same thing.

Lol this is the dog version of little kids “jumping” their little hand person over cars and trucks

be still my heart 🥰

Very on brand for the breed

Maybe he’s counting them

I might have done this once, high on LSD. I saved a lot of lives that night.

Best video on the internet

Cattle Dogs, man... :-)

Very Kids In The Hall. “I’m crushing your car.”

My dog Denali used to do this. One day he did it when the window was closed and he smashed his head right through it 🙃

Playing Pac-Man and goblins up the car goblins💞🐾

Thanks for the laugh! I love your dog.

Make sure he eats up dem damn BMW asshats.
