I have NEVER allowed any of our dogs free roam in the car for this reason. Moe and Pippy both are either in a crate or if its a nice enough day I have them in thier car harness. The big dogs are always in the car harnesses. I would never attach a dog in a car by thier neck as it's obvious what would happen if you suddenly had an impact, I would never have a free roaming dog, as they would not only be at serious risk...but they then become the projectile that could possibly hit me as well.Years ago when I had cats it was the same....they were ALWAYS in thier carriers..for thier sake and mine.
