    Question Tips for travelling with mans best friend

    What is the best way to tie my dog in to the back of my vy ute? I have a large dog who would be likely to want to jump out. I'd like to be able to take him with me to work but need to keep him safe in the back.

    Get one of those dog harnesses, the ones that wrap the torso, and to him to somewhere near the middle-front of the tray. Make sure the rope is short enough that the dog cannot reach any edge, even with the back legs.

    This is just a thought,
    How about one of those big plastic dog kennels, with a cage type door that can be locked. U can probably pic one up cheap from Gumtree or sumthing Shuld do the job

    Or maybe some type of custom enclosure around the tray that can be easily removed when not in use.

    What ever you do please don't leave the dog on the tray bumping around loose every time u accelerate and brake, I have seen Somthing horrible happen on the hwy before

    It may cost abit to get Somthing safe but ur best friends life is worth way more.

    Look at this cage it's at .99c atm

    And with some of the shit coming out of politicians mouths and well as the huge amount of Political Corectness, Abu Dhabi is looking pretty damn inviting.

    That's a tough call - the "politicians" here don't even know how to spell "Civil Liberties", let alone do it! That's why we get paid silly money to tolerate the "system".
