Man's best friend

No, I'm not talking about a MINI; I'm talking about a dog!

Has anyone driven a Roadster with a dog riding shotgun?

Not me, but wasn't there a comment on one of the threads here about someone riding with a (presumably small) dog in the trunk [edit: Sorry, I mean boot], with its head peering out of the open pass-through door?

Swarley has been begging me for a ride :-)

And no, he's not a dalmatian, he's a harlequin Great Dane :-)

I LOVE ststandard poodles! The little poodles can be nippers, but the standards are usually so sweet :-) We'll probably have one someday....the wife is a DVM so we have lots of pets. (Currently have 4 dogs and 2 cats).
