Pulled Over Dogs in Bed of Truck
jackelope:
my dog rides in the back seat of the cab or in his crate in the bed under the canopy tied down. once in a while he gets to roam around for a short trip under the canopy, but not usually.
i'm not gonna preach any more than this...honestly it pisses me off to see dogs loose in the beds of trucks without a canopy. they've got virtually no chance of survival in a wreck. my dog is worth it to me to keep him as safe as i can.
i think it's a great law.
dbllunger:
Had to be on the west side.

I guess it's sorta depends on where you live, my dad runs cattle in the okanogan. his dogs ride on the flatbed and have for 30 years, I asked him about this law and he had never heard of it. I don't think his dogs would ever go for the crate thing. I do know this with out a doubt you could tye those dogs to a saddle in dowtown seattle and it wiil still be there when you get back. I don't think that it's a bad law, I just don't think it would fly in E wa.
Birdguy:
I have never seen a working dog in a crate or tied in east of the mountains. Sometimes I have wondered how many times they fell out to learn to stay on so well :IBCOOL:. On the wetside however you seldom see not at least under a canopy, heck most of the time they are in the front seat with their heads out the window to the shoulder, probably more dangerous then having them loose in the bed. I personally keep mine under the canopy and in a crate when traveling any distance, just safer for all involved. That being said growing up we had blue healers and they rode on the tractor or 3 wheeler or truck or wherever they wanted. Just another sign of thetimes :(.
EastWaViking:
...and as kids we used to ride in the back of the pickup, usually standing up or sitting on the edge of the bed.
some times there are just too many rules.
