My lab of 10 years, passed away last year. He was the Taco's true owner. I just chauffeured.

In dad's '83 Hi-lux...

My new lab pup, in the pool, about to become the Taco's new owner with a desert road trip coming up...

 

so just out of curiosity and at risk of regretting asking this but.....why don't dogs belong in the bed? He gets to ride in the bed when Im on dirt roads which means I am not going very fast. Its not like Im driving down the highway with him in the bed.

oh and your seat cover idea......im not putting seat covers on my front seats as they have airbags in them. That seems sort of counter productive to cover airbags?

I put my dog up front on longer road trips or going faster on highways, but putting around locally in beautiful weather the dude rides in back. He gets to sniff and check out the scenery, and I don't have to 'f' with towels, sheets and hair EVERYWHERE.

I'm not trying to be rude, but Colorado is also the state that the capital city banned pit bulls and the state passed a law against high capacity magazines for toys such as guns. They also passed a law to make marijuana use legal. I'm not putting much stock in any law from that state.

I didn't mean for this thread to get off topic, I just had a question. sorry.

 

Looks like he was just giving ideas that were required in his state. We get it, you love 'Murica. Jeebus.

 

Dogs riding unsecured in the bed can jump out or be ejected from the bed (acceleration, hard braking, big bump). Your pup enjoys sniffing but with speed comes the chance he will end up with dust/dirt/debris/bugs in his eyes-the same is true if he's hanging his head out the window.

It doesn't take much for a dog to bail at a stop sign either. And there's not a whole lot you can do about it while you are driving-never mind that for many of us, it's a long way down.

These are the reasons Riley rides in the back seat. And he probably should be secure there too (becomes a 110# projectile in an accident).

 

Thanks for your opinion. I only offered up that comment to the other person because he lived in a nearby state and might be visiting Colorado sometime.

Oh and you might want to do some research on seat covers. There are number of offerings that are airbag compliant.

Me personally... my dogs health and well being are more important then the interior of my truck. So I will take a simple precaution and keep them in the cab with me.

Putting on my header yesterday and this was the only place he'd be happy and not in the street otherwise.

 

There are a lot of great looking pups in this thread. Which is why we should talk about stuff like this (respectfully of course). If you choose to do otherwise, at least you'll do so knowing what the risks are.

 

My dogs out hiking on hot summer day.

 

He looks tough. I bet he'll go all day on the trail?
