Lmao it's just S-hooks through the window. One pothole and Fido is in a pile on the Interstate.

Looks like one goes through a door handle and those clamps holding the piece of wood to the car may keep them from rising enough to come out. Still not something I'd do though.

I would, in that car. That thing is cruising the suburbs at a cool 35, mph tops. Perfect for a trip to the park.

Fairly, the speeds and interconnectivity of the states may have facilitated a safer ride for the pup. That being said safety was largely a third concern over innovation and uniqueness

Solid shitpost. My first reaction was anger for the poor dog.

Then I realized there are no airbags or crumple zones, the driver isn't wearing a seatbelt and car pobably doesn't even have one available. The driver is also likely three martinis into his day already and so are most of the other drivers on the road with him. The dog might actually be safer than anyone else here.

Also there are only 7 cars and they can only go 5km/h as you’ll get delirium furiosum if you go down hill with backwind and make it to 13km/h

Nah, that's a mid-30 to 40s design. By that point, you could absolutely hit highway speeds if you had open space. Clyde Barrow (yes, Bonnie and Clyde's Clyde) preferred stealing Fords when he was robbing banks in the 30s, because one of the more popular Ford models was a V8, which could hit 60mph and outpace a lot of older police vehicles.

Yes, it's full-steel and the thing will likely decapitate you in a crash if you don't get a steering column through the sternum, but old cars got fast a LOT faster than you think.

Right. The dog is well restrained by a flexible sack. Much better than hitting the steering wheel at 40 MPH, when the car careens into an oak tree.

Well, the advantage back then was that far fewer cars were on the road...

This one doesn't make the truck drift to the lefthand side ... ohh, it's the same doggo! Did they photo shop the pic (for postcards & sexy dog calendars?) or was the gooboi at some point a lesser gooboi ... but it appears to be the same pic ... maybe just a pose?

Look at the background behind the windscreen, it has a different angle. So I suppose both pictures were taken at the same photoshoot but with alvery slightly different angles and doggo poses.

You are right, I saw that (not just the angle but background what is behind the light) but dismissed it bcs I immediately forgot about the background & just concluded that one image got stretched (also def the same day bcs the truck tire didn't move & the thing under the truck is there too).

But the doggo possess - the more upright one is def lacking some heft I think ... Idk, could be just extra fabulous photogenic doggy.

Maybe doggo just switched from heroic to derp mode. I domit all the time (minus the heroic)

He's had the munchies a few too many times. Look at those eyes, he's feeling it now.

Why do you think they call him Chief? Bogart was the next option

Think about how easy it most be to get a large dog into a sack, that you then have to move and attach to a car.

So much easier than just having the dog sit in the back seat!

What problem did this solve? Cause I know which ones it creates...

Comfortably is doing Olympic-level work here. That dog looks like he’s one pothole away from writing a memoir.

People didn't think about car safety at all.

A couple of decades before the one in the picture, it actually wasn't a problem. And despite everybody knowing some people that died in an accident by the picture time, nobody connected the dots.

What is the date of the picture?

1950s or 1960s.

That's when cars looked like that.

That's way too late for the ignorance excuse.

Prehistoric times are too late for ignorance excuse when it comes to empathy, that shit don't work like that.

Yup. Unfortunately. If you’re curious, look up the World Values Survey and the expanding circles of empathy.

My first thought was: where is the hole for poop?

The back of a pickup seems preferable to being strapped to the side of a car in a bag.

2

Of course, but you know some kid will ride in one if given the chance. Just like pulling an upside down picnic table behind a vehicle. What you shouldn't do and what ends up being fun as hell are different.

3

Hold on, I just need to get the dog in the car!

4 hours later....

Almost there! Oh that? Those are love nibbles. Yeah, its my blood, it's just a little scratch! There, and another one next to it, and another one next to it....he loves riding in this bag attached precariously to the door. He sure does!

5

I really hope, for that woman's sake, that this isn't some kind of weird euphemism.

So you wrestle the dog into the canvas...thing...hook it onto the window, and then you have to crank on a couple of giant C-clamps hard enough that they stay attached.

Or you could let the dog in the car.
