Today, I got pulled over by the cops for swerving a lot while driving. I tried to explain that my dog bit the back of my neck, but as soon as I opened my door to show him the bite marks and the dog, he ran out of the car. I still can't find him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML
Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I swerved to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of my car. The dog was fine but I hit a road sign, ripped off my rearview mirror, and cracked my passenger side window. When I got out to examine the damage to my car, the dog growled at me. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when a police officer started walking behind me with his dog. I sped up and tried to cross the road. He took this as suspicious and got the dog to take me to the floor. I've been afraid of dogs since I was 5. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML

#5: My dog has a seatbelt, and it is for both her benefit and for mine. I don't have to worry about her getting in trouble while I'm driving, and it's saved her a few times when I've had to slam on my brakes because of some moron on the road. Anything not tied or belted-in turns into a projectile in the case of an accident. Everyone should have a seatbelt for their dog.

I didn't know doggy seat belts were a thing... O.o but, I do TOTALLY get why they are a necessity. My best friend's dog almost died once from falling off the seat when her boyfriend had to slam on the brakes :( he was a little dog, so she wasn't worried about him being an issue when she was driving... He just had a hard time staying on the seat, unless he was in her lap...

While in most cases dog car harnesses are ridiculous overkill clearly this OP hasn't done a great job training this dog, so a dog harness probably wouldn't have been a bad idea. OP deserves the ticket, if one was written though, there's no excuse for failure to control.

We have a seat belt for our dog because he is very little and could get thrown around easily with any sharp movement of the car. Also, he likes to sit on our lap while we drive which makes it very difficult at times.

I have a "car seat@ for my dogs. It's a little basket that you hang over the head rest, and you leash them in it so they can't jump out. This way they can still look outside. They love it!

totally agree, having a dog unrestrained in the car is very irresponsible. either a dog seat belt, a crate, or a screen will do it. the dog is less likely to be injured in an accident, and you're less likely to kill someone in a road accident cos you couldn't bother to restrain your dog. you wouldn't leave kids loose in a car, why does it make sense to leave the dog loose?

Agreed. I'm from Australia and it's the law that you must have your dog restrained by a seat belt or leash (in the the back of a ute).

Well it got you out of a ticket right?

Why do you think that?

That bites. I'm sorry, I had to.

wow that sucks hope you found/find your dog OP

As you experienced on your own, an animal should be restrained in the car (transport cage). It is safer for both the driver and the animal. Hope you are fine.
OSUBuckeyeChick 10
Exactly!! I never understood riding with an animal loose in the car.

Some people have trained dogs that don't need to be restrained.
MandieL 27
It doesn't matter if you have trained your dog to sit on the seat and stay put. If you get in an accident, or have to slam on the breaks really fast, your dog can be seriously injured. We are "trained" to stay put in the seat, and we still need to be restrained. Why not a dog?
catanita 18
It is better to be safe than sorry.

Why did you have to open your car door to do all this? The bite marks were on your neck, so you could have just leaned forward to show the officer the marks through the open window. Also, once he got close enough, he probably could've easily seen the dog through the windows of the car. Opening the door next to a road seems unnecessary. Still, losing a dog is awful, I hope you find you find him/her.

why didn't you just show him your neck?
