Small car...big dog

Hey, if there's any way to grab more attention driving down the road in a chili red convertible...its gotta be driving down the road in a chili red convertible with a 100 pound German Shepherd in the back.

Wish her a happy birthday, my puppy turned 11 years young today...and she's still as active as ever

Does she completely love riding with the top down? Seems like a doggy dream come true (as far as I understand doggy dreams).

Oh yeah, she sure does. Even in the Jeep, it all windows down and hatch popped.

Only thing...the slobber...gobs of it...everywhere.

I use a dog seatbelt harness to keep mine sitting and safe.

I'm sorry I do not have pictures but I used to drive a 1966 Austin-Healy Sprite and had a German Shepard that tipped the scales at 145 (Shutz was a huge dog) He pretty much thought that was his car and the top would not go on with him in the car (tried 1 time) He would sit on the boot and hold on to the roll bar looking straight ahead

Nice pictures! We use a dog seatbelt harness on ours while in the car as well. Keeps her safer in the event I need to slam on the brakes, make an evasive maneuver, or get in an accident.
