My lab instructor was telling told me about a accident where a women was driving in the next state over and had a terrible accident and was very badly injured and had to be taken by ambulance. Well her dog was with her and he flew through the windshield and took off. Luckily a rescue person came back to the site to look for the dog and eventually found the dog pretty beat up with a broken leg. She got very lucky because if he didn’t go back the dog may have been lost forever. We think we know our dogs and that they won’t run off after an accident but more then likely they would due to fear and confusion. Had the dog been tethered he wouldn’t have gone through the windshield and had a broken leg and such and he couldn’t have run off. Mine are always tethered whether in the car seat or just the seat unless there was a surgery or if we are rushing to the er vet and both those times I am holding them. You would never let your kids not be buckled in because they want to move around more and look out the windows so why with your dog? My dogs are my kids so buckled in they get.
