SOunds like the idiot driving the truck needs a meeting with a Louisville

MR> I was proud of the people though,

MR> when they drive like jerks!! That animal did not ask to be hurt like
MR> that. He could have been hurt a lot worse or even hit by an oncoming
MR> car... I just don't know why they don't put them in the truck, it
MR> would help a lot with the dogs safety.
OUr Rottweiler ride in our van with us.  OUr older one rode between our
front seats. tHIs one that's a 5 month old pup rides in a KEnnel, we have a
full size cage type kennel that she travels in.

wHen we go on audio jobs with our remote truck she'll ride in the cab with
us because the back doesn't have good ventillation unless we're at the job
site and the electrical power is hooked up, then there's air conditioning
and proper ventillation.

WE take our dog's safety and security as seriously as we do our own.

Regards,
           Richard
