The lad im working for out here has a clip om his toolbox in the back of the pick up. Ususlly 2 kelpies in the back happy out.

There's a lad around Laragh with a mutt that travels like that, appears to love it.

From AGS's perspective they'd had to go for unsecured load I suspect. The Dog Warden could claim its not in sufficient control. As above, spend 10 seconds to clip him down just to be safe.

I think it would depend on the type of dog. If it was a pet or a companion type dog then unsecured load rules may apply. However if the dog was a working dog eg a collie who was used for rounding up cattle or sheep or an alsatian guard dog then working H&S would have to apply. If he was clipped in then in the case of a fire or the jeep crashing into a river he would have no exit. I wonder what the Gardai would make of that.

She would have to be strapped in somewhere, tbh. In a crash, which hopefully will never happen, if she isn't strapped in, she would be thrown forward from the back onto whoever is sitting in front. Not good for man nor beast:(

Was wondering about this the other day. I was behind a car with a labrador going over and back on the back seat.

I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
There in my truck the dog and I
Then one day the King up and died
Then I thought about the times we had
Once when I kicked him when he was bad
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history

I suppose in the case of an accident the dog could go flying and hit a bystander.
But then, that applies to everything in the back, spare wheel, drums of diesel, roll of fence wire etc.

A man i know has a jeep, he parked outside a shop, went in and left the jeep unlocked. When he came back out, his big alsatian which was sitting in the back of the jeep had his mouth clamped on the jacket of a member of a certain ethnic minority. I’d say fresh underwear was needed.

There was a Greengrass sort of lad near me.The gardai were collecting him for a spell behind bars. When the guards came, his dog came around a corner and one guard asked if the dog had a licence. No says your man "sure we will bring him with us"
