| Are you freaking kidding me???????? The other day I was driving on the interstate, and of all things I see this golden retriever riding on the back of a truck. Get this, not leashed in , not in a kennel, which I agree with neither anyways, but its besides the point..This poor dog was riding on the top of the toolbox on the back of the freaking truck!!! On the Interstate!! One wrong turn, one wrong move and the dog would have been road kill! WTH is wrong with people, can you report people for stuff like that? |

| I see that a lot here in California, our farmers do it all the time. As far as I know the dog has to be leashed or kenneled in though, unless the height of the truck bed is over 46 inches vertically from the floor. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I agree that is absolutely appalling. Here in the city, I see numerous dogs in cars uncrated, sitting in the passenger seat, window fully down. Another risky behaviour. Yesterday I saw a dog laying on the dashboard on the drivers side. Great. That dog obstructed at least 4 inches of view vertically and 10 inches or so horizonatally.

| I honestly just dont know what people think. I mean I have been guilty in the past for letting Roxie ride uncrated ,but I honestly didnt know any better, then I came here and we now have a booster seat..lol..But to ride on the back of the truck on top of a toolbox, sliding around, seems soooo dangerous and stupid! |

| Oh, you wouldn't believe it but on the way home from Florida on I95 there were two Weimaraner dogs in the back of a pick up truck loose. It began to pour buckets and the driver never pulled over to put them in the truck. Kept on driving fast like there wasn't a torrential rain going on. I just couldn't believe it. There are people that just don't "get it". |

| I used to ALWAYS see dogs riding in the back of pick-up trucks and it was looked at as a normal thing, however I don't see it as often anymore. Maybe people have more common sense now, or care about their pets more, I dunno. But that is just super dangerous!

| It infuriates me to see that too -- especially up on the toolbox! Here, I see human kids in the back of trucks all the time too. Can't believe it is not illegal but I called one time to check. In a car, they have to be belted in but they can be in the the back of a truck, open, no seat and no belt! People need to be more responsbile for their children and pets. They owe them better!

| I live in NC, too, and I can't believe it's not illegal. I moved here from NY and it was against the law there. |

| I live in the country in Texas so folks seem to do this often here. I completely disagree with it! I also disagree with some very close friends of mine who think because they live on large property that their dogs can just run loose but that is another topic. Anyway, here we also have idiotic parents who I still see letting their human toddlers standing in the backseat of their cars. I have on more than one occasion phoned into the police while following them and telling the officer ont he phone where they were going and what they were doing. Each time when an officer finally arrives, they tell me how dangerous it is and that I shouldn't have done it. I know it is true and I tell myself that while I follow (always from a distance) but somebody has to protect these kids. Sorry, I got off topic a little bit because I jumped to skin kids. I don't like furkids out of car seats either but I know there is unfortunately no law that I can report all of those people too. Can you imagine, that would be my fulltime job. I could just drive around on a police radio reporting every baby (skin or furr) moving vehicle violation! HA HA!!! Peggy, Monkey & Maddie

| On the way to Ocean City (I think route 50?) there was a lab in the back of a pickup completely unleashed or anything. I was so mad I wanted to call the cops. |

| When my daughter lived in TX we saw a tiny dog in a basket on the back of a motorcycle. It couldn't have weight 10 lbs. That is just insane! I don't know what is wrong with people or where their brain are. |

Good ole NC...definitely not illegal here Our animal laws are not at all (in my opinion anyway) where they should be.
