I'm convinced that an Arkansas State Trooper once gave me a warning instead of a ticket (I was speeding), when he saw and asked about the system I had rigged up in the back of the truck to make sure my dog could stand up, lay down, and get just the tip of her nose past either side of the cab, but no more than that.Sodbuster wrote:This one's on dogs too, but a different take on them. I hate to see folks tote their dogs on the freeway in the bed of the truck. Everytime I see a poor pooch carcass on the road, I just think about the poor brokenhearted tots at home whenever the news is broken to them "well I had to slam on my brakes and swerve and the next thing I knew Fido passed me on the shoulder and there weren't enough of his leftovers to scrape up and bring home".
(I had stretched a cable tightly between the front stake pockets, and put two stops on it to limit side-to-side movement.)
