Dog's travel in car on top of car hauler
I just got back from helping a friend of a friend's relative unload from a move from out of state. They asked me to help because they needed someone to drive the 26 ft moving truck back to the rental ...

Like I said I did not know any of these people just offered my help as an Rv driver to get the uhaul truck back since the driver of it left in his car and was not involved in unloading.
I have to state here, although my shock of standing there and being told the dogs were on the hauler, is still a vivid feeling........
these 2 dogs looked no worse for the ware. They were not panting nor did they have that look of 'oh my god' in their eyes. They calmly got out of the car as is to say Hi, how you'all doin?
We walked them and then they went into the back seat of another car driven by a stranger to them and they just jumped in and calmly laid down and went to sleep for the ride to the storage lockers.
I personally crate for safety period. No animal rides in any of my vehicles without being crated. That is simply 'my' rules.
The only really unsafe thing IMHO about this trip was these dogs were not crated so if an incident would have arisen on the road they could have been thrown around and/or out the window.
NOT ALL DOGS would have been capable of a ride like this. For me I was just VERY thankful to see that these 2 dogs were very capable of handling the situation.
We all know there are dogs that just go with the flow and of course there are the dogs that just the slightest bit of change throws them into insane frenzy. Again I am so very glad that was not the case with these two dogs. :C
