[nagdu] taxi transport

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi,

Having your dog sit on the back seat of a cab isn’t a very good idea for a couple reasons:

1) It isn’t as safe as on the floor. A quick stop and your dog has nowhere to go but forward. 

2) We already have enough problems with cabs and cab drivers. Best to keep your dog, and consequently his hair, on the floor. One less thing for the driver to bitch about later.

In this case what I do is sit in the back and ask the driver to move the passengers seat up so my dog can sit on the floor. A lot of times my drivers have not been able to move the seat up because there of this that and the other reason so, I just bring a towel and they have the understanding your dog has to sit on the seat because they can't adjust everything for you.  The towel just avoids conflicts about the dog leaving fur and dirt .  Sometimes I wish they were more accommodating but when it comes to getting from point A to B I pick my battles.
