One of the leading causes for auto
accidents is being distracted behind the wheel. But we're talking about more
than cell phone use or touching up your mascara! If “dog is your
copilot,” don’t let the furry friend have free reign over the vehicle
.
When you're behind the wheel, your
mind should be on the road. When you let Fido off his leash and he
finds the cake you're bringing to the party, it gets more and more
difficult to lock your attention to the task at hand.
The bottom line, without exception, is this:
if you are driving, do not allow your dog to ride in your lap!
