Heat would be a major concern under a topper. To hot out especially without air movement. I carry my two Collies in the A/C crew cab. I about lost a Collie carrying them in a topper to heat stroke. First and last time I did that.

Sliding rear windows fixes this. I have one 60lbs dog that rides in the cab between the wife & I.

I had two sliding windows so no it doesn't fix this. It might have been carbon monoxide that made Andy so sick as DMV Doug has stated and I did have a thermometer in the topper as well. I did see a truck at the Ford dealership that had A/C installed in the bed of the truck specifically for his dog kennels.
