Default For those leaving pets in the car

I thought I would share as many here are dog owners and actually let their dogs ride in their cars. As many know, our cars have motion sensors in the car, so you can't lock the car with dogs in them, but you can deactivate the motion sensor if you press the lock button twice within two seconds.

It was news to me so I thought I would share

When left my Rhodesian Ridgeback in my car, locking it was unnecessary.

With Ridgeback in the car, the windows were always open, no need to break glass. However, anyone who had tried to remove her from the car, or even opened one of the doors, would have probably ended up in an emergency room. She was extremely protective of her territory and very effective in making it absolutely clear to anyone who approached the car that she was "on-duty". In our many years together, and countless car trips, no one ever failed to understand that tampering with "her car" was not a good idea. Anyone "waiting"for me would have discovered that she was also very protective of "her family".

I think he was referring to animals experiencing heat exhaustion due to being left inside a boiling car for too long.

...they tend to not be so "protective" when near death.

Sounds like a roasted doggie/injured person lose/lose situation.

Not "lose /Lose" when driving top down with your best friend, ears flowing in the wind (his)! And he never complains like the wife that his hair is getting mussed.

Seriously, the Roadie harness is well designed and hooks to the seat belt retractor just in case. Allows him movement from front seats to the rear seat ledge and back down unless a sudden stop occurs. You can then unhook from the seat belt when taking a break and just hook your leash on for a walk.

NOTE: I NEVER leave my dog in the car on hot/sunny days...

My dog will go home with anyone, I am more afraid of someone taking him.
