The other day I was at our mail service in Rosarito. There was a newish model silver metallic pickup truck with three full-grown Weimaraners in the
back with no restraints. They were very agitated because the local dogs were barking at them from the balconies on the street. I talked to the owner
and asked him if he was worried about hiss dogs' safety and he replied, "Oh no, they are trained."
Life happens and accidents happen and I worry that those beautiful dogs could become road kill in the blink of an eye.

i understand and appreciate your concern for the dog's safety. i have had dogs that ride in the truck bed from years ago. i believe it was one of the
greatest joys in their lives. i have never seen a dog in the back of a truck looking sad. some of life's greatest joys involve risk. that said....
some dogs just don't have the sense to safely ride in the bed. i am not endorsing the practice, just making a few comments. cheersJZ - 8-7-2017 at 02:30 PM
Op is the reason no kids get to ride in the back of p/u's anymore in the US.
We go to MX for the the freedom of choice on stuff like this. chippy - 8-7-2017 at 03:04 PM

My dogs always rode in the front or back seat of my truck never in the bed. I was told by my vet that dogs riding in the bed of a truck could get
epilepsy from breathing the highway exhaust chemicals. We had a German Shepard that was epileptic. pacificobob - 8-9-2017 at 11:13 AM
