Two things everyone should experience in life, an old truck and a young pup

  1. Looks good but remember to leash your dog to the bed. There are thousands of dogs killed each year by jumping or being thrown out of pick-up beds.

    1. hang on there... I don't have a dog, I wouldn't have a dog ride in back, and I don't even have a truck right now. I sold my last truck 25 years ago. BUT, if I had a truck, and a dog, I'd have the dog ride in front. Riding in the back is for people that want to have fun. I loved riding in the back of the truck as a kid, and I bet it would be a lot more fun as an adult. I'm pretty sure it's legal to drink beer while in the back.
      I also doubt it's thousands of dogs dieing each year from riding in the back.
      I suspect more dogs die from being police dogs who can't get out of the police car during hot days, because that is something that gets in the news.

      Now, the Utah Humane Society ESTIMATES an absurd number. Notice that they do not report, they ESTIMATE, and because they have a goal of keeping dogs alive, they simply make it seem to be the worst thing in the world. It isn't.
      AND if there were 100,000 dogs dieing every year, it would be more than an urban myth. That's all it is. One ESTIMATE hit the news in 2011, and then the same in 2018, and every lazy ass repost of that ESTIMATED number just reinforces that nonsense.
      If 100,000 dogs died every year from any one thing, it would be news, as the USA just loves dogs. Loves them so damn much every president HAS to get one of they don't already have one.
      But try and find a single person that has seen a dog fall out of a truck bed. Hell, dogs ride on motorcycles all the time. Not a single mention of dogs dieing from riding on motorcycles, or jumping out of some car front seat, not even in traffic jams where another dog gets to barking back and forth and getting each other worked up.
      I grew up with trucks, and dogs. Oh, See, I didn't grow up with retards, morons, imbeciles, and dumbasses. So, I don't know how many dogs THEY kill.
