While at a recent dog show I saw this scene and had to snap a photo.  While it is cute, I would have to ask the driver, “What are you thinking?”   This can’t possibly be safe for the dog.  First of all the driver should be wearing a helmet [in my opinion] and the dog should be at least wearing “doggles” to protect his eyes.  {Never mind that I don’t think the dog should be a passenger on a motorcycle at all!}  I’m sure the dog enjoyed the ride, though.  I couldn’t help but think back to my drive to the show when I suddenly had to slam on the brakes because 2 deer ran in front of my car.  Everything that was sitting on the front seat of the car slid forward and onto the floor.  I’m a big believer that dogs should be in a carrier or wearing a pet seat belt while traveling in a car for just that reason.  In the event you have to stop suddenly, they could be seriously injured if thrown about.  Keep that in mind the next time you take your pet out for a ride!  My cats only travel inside a pet carrier…no matter what.
