All About Dog Car Seats
As a young girl I remember being at my Aunt Lisa’s house and hearing a loud crash. We ran outside to see what had happened and let me say it is a scene I have never forgotten. There was a man in a red pickup truck that had gotten into an accident. He was just crawling out of the wreckage and looking for his dog as we approached him to see if he was okay. He kept calling for his dog which we found him about 15 yards away…I think this was the first time I saw a grown man cry as he held his dogs lifeless body in his arms. This all could have been prevented with dog car seats!
