Sit. Stay. Good Passenger. You've been transporting your pooch all wrong

摘要

I've never had children, but two years ago we adopted a rescue beagle/schnauzer mix that quickly became the center of our universe. She goes with us everywhere we can take her, and on car journeys she's always either in a tethered safety harness or (for longer trips) in the wire cage she sleeps in. Well, according to crash tests recently conducted by the Center for Pet Safety (with Subaru sponsorship), we're being as reckless transporting Snickers as my parents were when they allowed me to free-roam the station wagon interior. Our restraints only prevent her from distracting us.
