- Airborne debris (think bugs, pollution etc.) can become embedded in Fido's eyes.
- Airborne debris can become embedded in Fido's ear canal.
- Chilly air rushing into Fido's nose and lungs can damage his respiratory system.
- Fido's head can hit a sign, mail box, a tree or a passing bus.
- Fido can jump out the window.
So what can we do to allow Fido to feel the wind in his ears? Well, you could buy him a pair of canine goggles, but that would only take care of problem number 1. Instead, crack the window on both sides of the car to produce a cross wind. Then, drive to the dog park, the beach or any safe enclosed area and let Fido run free. If you frolic with him, you'll burn off a few extra calories and can enjoy another piece of pie on Memorial Day.
One thing you did not mention is what could happen if the driver had to stop suddenly...not a good thought.
ReplyDeleteYour right! A dog should always wear restraints for her safety and that of the driver and passengers. We go into detail on safe travel with your dog in the book.
