What Would You Do If You Saw a Dog Carrier Attached to a Car on the Highway? | Pets - Yahoo! Shine

It's the type of photo that you have to take a double take and hope it is an internet hoax.

It's sad, but we found out this story circulating on Facebook this past weekend is true. Someone was actually driving down I-95 at 70 mph from at least Georgia into South Carolina with a dog in an open airline crate attached to a cargo holder on the back of a large SUV.

Wow. I can't imagine being an animal stuck in a crate and doing 70mph down the highway. Must have been terrifying.

Not sure if the police would do anything about it, but I would call.

I see dogs in crates on the back of trucks all the time. Fido was just a little closer to the road.

If it would get me away from the kids, I'd ride in it.

I have seen it several times on I-81, and the average speed there is 80 MPH. The sad one was the dog in the open wire crate, at least with the plastic they get some protection from flying rocks. And just to be clear I am not saying it is OK just that I have seen it. When I had a dog my 200 lb bubby rode in the middle up front right next to me.

Probably the same type of person that thinks of a dog as a yard ornament.

Oh, I don't like that at all.....

Oh, I don't like that at all.....

I do not see how that would be legal.....

Shoot, used to ride in the back of Dad's truck when we were kids. I guess that wouldn't work for some of you.

I wouldn't have a problem with it being in the bed of the truck. If that guy got rear ended, the pooch would be a goner. Not to mention, I just think it would be terrifying for a dog, but that's just me projecting I guess.

But think of it this way, if he had a head on, the dog would have a better chance of survival than he would. My dogs always rode in the front seat of the truck with me. Had a bench seat in the old truck. New one has separate seats, but then I don't have my dogs any longer.

totally aggree. the back bed of a truck is completely different than hanging off the bumber of an SUV on the highway. I saw this story yesterday...made me cry I would've done what those people did who called the police several times and followed the vehicle until they saw the SUV pulled over. I just can't imagine how frightened the poor thing was
