You probably have heard about the danger of leaving the dog inside a car with closed windows especially during hot weather as this can result to the death of the pet. But are you aware that your dog can get injured if you allow the pet to stick its head out of the window while you are driving. Dogs are wonderful pets and dog owners would always want to have the pet around.
Carrying dogs in fashionable bags have become a trend. Dogs in their best finery with jeweled collars and leashes are paraded for everyone to see by their doting proud owners. Dogs are taken everywhere by their owners thus dogs in cars would hardly be noticed but a dog's head sticking out of car windows will certainly attract attention more so if the dog is wearing goggles.
Man's best friends are very curious animals. A dog owner would know that their pets would rather be off leash than leashed because dogs would love to investigate. In a car, a dog would not have the freedom to follow wherever their ultra sensitive senses would lead them but by sticking the head out of windows, the dog will be exposed to the succession of changing scenery. The dog only has to stick the head out of the car window to be able to take in the smell of barbecues and other foods cooking.
Dogs are runners and the feeling the cooling breeze on their faces is similar to running freely - unrestricted by a leash. We know that dogs don't have a very efficient cooling system given the fact that their sweat glands are generally found on the foot pads. Simply by lolling the tongue and sticking the head out of the car, the pet can cool its body.
A good looking dog that sticks the head out of running cars would certainly be noticed. The dog owner will not only be noticed but would be admired as well. Allowing the dog to do so would be dangerous. Stones, gravel and tree branches can injure the dog's eyes. There is also the danger that the dog startled by a loud sound would jump off the car. You want to take the pet with you but you have to make sure that the pet is safe. Teach the dog to wear doggie goggles and to use seat belts.
