yup, and bigger dogs become bigger flying objects.
sparrowgrass, i hadn't thought about the airbag thing with lap dogs. good point.
i knew a girl who is lucky to be alive from an accident caused by her medium sized dog jumping into her lap when she was heading back to college in upstate n.y. to clean out her dorm room after sophmore year.
as she was sailing along at around 65mph on the nys thruway, her dog saw something and dove accross her lap causing her to jerk the wheel and go off the road and over a small cliff.
if it weren't for another driver, who was a good distance behind her, witness her accident and call 911, she would have died there in her car.
unfortunately, er dog was killed.
she spent a few weeks in a coma, then a year and a half in the hospital.
she lost 1 eye, and now walks with a severe limp and looks kinda a bit bent over and to one side.
i've not seen any dog owners chime in on this slightly off topic subject yet. hmmm.
anywho, back to toasting weiners in cars.
