Re: My boy got hurt :(

In each of the two classes I have attended with Arwen I have talked to the other students about how important it is to have their dog properly secured while in a vehicle. I purchased the "traveling dog harness" when Arwen was about 15 weeks old, she wore it to her first puppy class and it was her first time in the car not inside a crate.

I beleive it was on the way to her third puppy class when we stopped at a red light. We heard screeching breaks and as my husband and I turned to see what happened, we saw it was the car behind US. A Chevy Blazer slammed into the rear of our car, and Arwen never moved off the seat. The belt caught and kept her EXACTLY where she was sapose to be. Everyone was okay, but that day I walked into class with Arwen in her harness and begged people to stop putting their dogs in the backseat with no harness or the back of the truck.

What would have happened if she had been back there and not buckled up? My husband would have been hit with a puppy in the back of the head as she flew through the front window. SAFTEY FIRST
