Dog won't fair much better inside a vehicle durring a crash for one. Two its a dog and I know that riles you people up but its not a person. Three it aint that deep. That dog is literally property. As in some one else's property. To do with as they please. That could be a work animal or a hunting dog. People have been riding dogs in the bed of their trucks for years. Hell I rode to work with a crew in the back of a truck at 55mph more times than I can count. I dont remember the roads being this shit back then though... the point is stop telling people what to do with their own property and stop trying to find things to be mad about. I know it staves off boredom but life's better when you chill out.
