It makes absolutely no sense. It's not that I'm afraid of falling off my bike either, it's other hitting me that I'd be concerned about.
IF I fell, I'm pretty safe w/ my riding gear. My DOG??? Yeah, those Doggles and harness aren't going to prevent me from crushing him/her when I fall; nor is it going to save her noodle from getting split on the pavement. Just not worth it. Their bones/tendons/ligaments aren't going to survive a high speed fall like that even if she/he had the same amount and quality riding gear that I have on when I ride.

Sorry, this is something that I'm passionate about if you can't tell. It'd be like strapping an infant to your chest imo. It simply wouldn't be done.

I couldn' agree more. Hubby and I ride also. But a motorcycle is no place for an animal. Much less my precious furkids. Not gonna do it. I would rather have them safe at home. Perhaps if you've been in a motorcycle accident as I have you would think twice about it.
