Things They Should Invent: car seats for dogs

Based on the people I know who have both cars and dogs (a small sample), it seems standard operating procedure is either to put your dog in the car, perhaps tell him to sit, and leave him to his own devices, or to put your dog in the crate and put the crate in the car, perhaps securing it with the seat belt.

They really should invent either a car seat-type device for dogs, or a crate-specific way of securing the crate (similar to how baby seats attach to the car), or something so that Mr. Puppyface doesn't get hurt if there's a car accident.

You are very smart. Many such devices already exist. Not every dog will tolerate them, though.

That little guy is so puppy! I wonder how much range those things have? I can't picture him sitting very still for very long.

I am glad they exist though. Don't want any doggies flying through windshields.
