    So you wrestle the dog into the canvas…thing…hook it onto the window, and then you have to crank on a couple of giant C-clamps hard enough that they stay attached.

    Or you could let the dog in the car.

        This one doesn’t make the truck drift to the lefthand side … ohh, it’s the same doggo! Did they photo shop the pic (for postcards & sexy dog calendars?) or was the gooboi at some point a lesser gooboi … but it appears to be the same pic … maybe just a pose?

          Look at the background behind the windscreen, it has a different angle. So I suppose both pictures were taken at the same photoshoot but with alvery slightly different angles and doggo poses.

            You are right, I saw that (not just the angle but background what is behind the light) but dismissed it bcs I immediately forgot about the background & just concluded that one image got stretched (also def the same day bcs the truck tire didn’t move & the thing under the truck is there too).

            But the doggo possess - the more upright one is def lacking some heft I think … Idk, could be just extra fabulous photogenic doggy.

    Solid shitpost. My first reaction was anger for the poor dog.

    Then I realized there are no airbags or crumple zones, the driver isn’t wearing a seatbelt and car pobably doesn’t even have one available. The driver is also likely three martinis into his day already and so are most of the other drivers on the road with him. The dog might actually be safer than anyone else here.

      Also there are only 7 cars and they can only go 5km/h as you’ll get delirium furiosum if you go down hill with backwind and make it to 13km/h

        Nah, that’s a mid-30 to 40s design. By that point, you could absolutely hit highway speeds if you had open space. Clyde Barrow (yes, Bonnie and Clyde’s Clyde) preferred stealing Fords when he was robbing banks in the 30s, because one of the more popular Ford models was a V8, which could hit 60mph and outpace a lot of older police vehicles.

        Yes, it’s full-steel and the thing will likely decapitate you in a crash if you don’t get a steering column through the sternum, but old cars got fast a LOT faster than you think.

      Right. The dog is well restrained by a flexible sack. Much better than hitting the steering wheel at 40 MPH, when the car careens into an oak tree.

          Of course, but you know some kid will ride in one if given the chance. Just like pulling an upside down picnic table behind a vehicle. What you shouldn’t do and what ends up being fun as hell are different.

    Think about how easy it most be to get a large dog into a sack, that you then have to move and attach to a car.

    So much easier than just having the dog sit in the back seat!

    What problem did this solve? Cause I know which ones it creates…
