Thats really bad!! Out here in rural Nebraska people have a different mentallity towards their dogs- dogs always riding loose in back of pickups - even in flatbed pickups with no sides going down the highway or dogs riding on top of tool boxes in the back -yikes!! I get freaked out all the time driving to work-most people in the country just let their dogs run loose and if they show up missing its like oh well we'll just get another one-Maybe that guy you seen is related to these guys here lol

I see the same thing here, Kathy...and it completely freaks me out, too. Makes me wonder how often people end up with a dead, hung dog dangling off the side of their truck.

Ah yes, we call that National Lampoon Summer Vacation style...

Would you believe we had a guy who tied his dog to the bumper of his truck...and then forgot he was there and drove off!!! :shocked: Fortunately, the dog survived one of the worst cases of road rash I've ever seen.

i've seen the same attitude toward dogs pretty much all over the country, kathy. i think i'm the only person in nebraska (unless you do also)that actually locks the dog in the car if he's with me running errands. i'm more paranoid about someone stealing him than i am about someone stealing the frickin' car!!
it scares the daylights out of me when i see the dogs loose on a flatbed or on top of a toolbox, too. yikes!!
People run their dogs with trucks and cars a lot here in Maine. Especially with bird dogs. I work with two men who run GSPs behind trucks to wear them out a little bit before they go pointing partrige to improve the dogs' focus on the game rather than just on running. I guess running behind a truck isn't too bad (dangerous). Running in front of a truck or car can definitely be a bad thing. There is a Labrador I know that required $3000 worth of surgery to repair a broken leg and pelvis from being hit accidentally while being "exercised".

there are a number of people here that will sit on the tailgate with lead in their hands. I would say that was more hazardous to the handler then the dog
