[nagdu] Doggie seat belts

[Tracy Carcione]

If you ride in the front, don't you have to worry about the airbags?  I
always prefer to ride in back, if possible, because the thought of an airbag
hitting my dog terrifies me.

I always ask to ride in the front if at all possible. Most of the people I
know who are not twenty somethings are good with that. It would be the best
for the dog especially with that situation going on. I get it now. *smile*

Most of the people I ride with are twenty-somethings with jobs, school, and
junk all over the God blessed place in their vehicles. For instance, my
older sister has 3 jobs and goes to school. She practically lives out of her
car and has stuff for all 3 jobs in there, school books/supplies, and
garbage. So like her, people just throw stuff on the floor in their cars,
and there's sometimes junk on the seats, too.

If I'm in the back of a vehicle where 2 people are in the front seats, it's
can be practically impossible to put my dog on the floor, depending on the
height of the folks up front.

When I ride in Taxis or Uber vehicles, I always have my dog on the floor out
of consideration for others. I never thought of it as a safety precaution.

I never rode with my dog in the front seat with me. I'll have to try that.
Conveniently, I preferred to enjoy my foot room, but I'd rather my dog be
safe. This was such an eye-opening experience. Thankfully, nothing worse
happened.
