maggidee 10 #1 Posted November 8, 2019 At 10 am a blue Suzuki car taking ages to turn right from moss way up to mosborough lights,and I found out why ,she was driving with a black dog jumping up down on her lap.how on earth can you concentrate on driving like that,it’s probably explains why the passengers side was all smashed in.is it against the law to drive like this?.......as bad as driving on the phone..

carosio 186 #4 Posted November 8, 2019 On cargo ships, sometimes dogs were trained as lookouts and would bark when they saw another ship approaching. This would enable the crew to attend to other less monotonous jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ANGELFIRE1 10 #5 Posted November 8, 2019 Back in the 70's my Jack Russell was always on the front seats of my car, totally free to wander from seat to seat unrestrained, as it was then. Today our Patterdale and Border both ride in the back in a cage which well fastened in, in case of accidents. Times change. Angel1.

If i crashed the car at speed an unrestrained GSD would fly through the window and take my head off on the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And until very recently if you were operating a Canadian fishing boat it was law that you had to have a Newfoundland dog on board to leap in to save any of the staff that may fall overboard. However, neither of these scenarios apply to driving in the UK in 2019, do they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
