We used to when I was little and they were all fine with some training. Then one day we took my aunt's dog somewhere. Dog was fine. (1/2)

Thankfully we did a non-moving test first. She jumped out & nearly hung herself immediately so we cross-tied. (2/2)

I saw a Lab wearing goggles chilling on the back of a motorcycle while going down the highway at 70MPH. Anything is possible.

Better question: are you ever scared they're burning themselves on HOT METAL which is arguably in the bottom of most pickup beds when sunny?

I mean, I wouldn't even walk my dog on pavement if it were *really* hot out, and where I live it usually is...

It's really not an issue. If they do jump out they're actually pretty smart about it

As someone who hitchhiked. I hope you. Ever put a dog in the back of a truck.

Many a vet or vet tech will tell you it is an issue. You're an idiot.

There are no stupid dogs. There are only beautiful, sensitive, loyal, loving, soft and sweet good boys and girls. That is all.

My brother's Jack Russell jumped out while going 50 mph. He was surprisingly fine. But my brother never put him in the back again.

in Norway you are required by law to secure animals in a mounted cage or special harness like a seat belt

Australia has a ban on it now; you have to have a large cage in the tray for your dog to ride in.

Australia has sensible laws on things like animal abuse and gun control because they're not ignorant meatheads. Good on ya, Oz.

Taking the heat into account, isn't it dangerous to leave the dog in the back, cage or no?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah common sense prevails usually dogs in the cage while moving, bring them with you when you arrive

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you leave it there without shade then yea, but I imagine it's pretty breezy whilst moving. I'm assuming the purpose is for transportation

I knew a guy who tied his dog in the back of his truck--to a collar, not a harness. By the time he noticed, the dog had hung himself.

having any cargo in the back of your vehicle unrestrained is against the law (in most states and countries) not just a pet.

In Arizona its illegal to have your dog's unrestrained in the back but it's perfectly legal for people to be back there

Here in Louisiana it's perfectly ok to let your kids ride in the back of a pickup, even if your on the interstate and have no tailgate...

You're* and you'd get better gas mileage with the tailgate up. And it'd be better for your kids. And other drivers.
