if you've got a fun ol dog, not a yappy little puntable field goal making purse dog, but a real dog - and can make him this happy by taking him on a ride in the truck? You're going to heaven if you do it often, THATS the reason to have a dog
to make anything, or anyone this happy? That's magic, and cats simply never will express this much happiness
When I drove a standard-cab pickup and I was the designated driver, I made my friends ride in the box. They weren't nearly as happy about it as that dog though.
Where I live you could be charged with "insecure load" by allowing your dog to ride in the box like that. You're supposed to travel with dogs in a crate or in the backseat, secured with a harness to the seatbelt. Sad but true.
Yes, I know there are laws now that keep dogs from being loose in the beds, but that's not international, and my website is - so, I don't refer to stupid local legalities when spreading some happiness around the globe. When I was a kid the back of a truck was the place kids rode... there simply wasn't a lot of space in a truck, they weren't commonly crew cabs like so many are now. They didn't have air conditioning either, and riding in the back was a lot cooler than the cab. More mosquitoes though. I think it was about 10 years ago that the USA went to no loose kids or dogs in the truck bed. No one seems to have given a damn, I haven't seen a truck yet with a kennel box or seats.
I completely agree, but I can't look at something like this anymore without thinking that some nosy do-gooder is going to call the cops and spoil the fun.
For my 13th birthday party in the afternoon after school, my mother picked up a dozen of us in a pickup truck. Nobody died and not one parent was concerned, although some weren't happy about the cow shit the boys acquired playing football in the pasture. ;o)
