I have 5 dogs, none really by choice, just rescued dogs in need.
When I go out in the car 2 of them always insist on going too.
The bigger one gets in the back of the SUV. lays down and never moves.
The smaller one, a terrier mix, jumps in front & sits in the front passenger seat on a towel, and loves the AC vent blowing on her.
Today Digisett (AMET) stopped me and told me that dogs are an considered an obstruction and must be in a cage inside a car. I asked to see that law which they could not quote, only the no-obstructions law.
Now in a country that permits full blackout tinting with little slots cut for only the driver's eyes, or no rear view mirrors, worries about a small dog being an obstruction?
I am for making driving safer but the DR seems intent of focusing on ridiculous rules ( or making them up). How about no lights or sirens on non-emergency private vehicles.
My dog never gets in my lap nor does she jump around the car. She sits in the passenger seat. And she isn't a Great Dane sticking her head in front of the driver's side drooling snot.
I'll be darn if I am going to put my dog in a cage each time I run out for an errand or head to the beach.
The Digisett boss then came up and said well it might be OK if dogs stay in the back behind the back seat of the SUV - that "might be acceptable". (the first guy was the same one that gave me a ticket for one of my daytime running light not working on a prior occasion). I did not get an infraction as the boss waived it off much to the disappointment of the dumber flunky.
Who else rides with their dogs in the car ?
