My dog Cashmere, an Irish Setter, will duck her head when she is sitting in the front seat looking out the front window and we pass under an overpass. She is more comfortable in the back seat and loves rides when back there.
We go up to my cousins cabin in Michigan quite often, and she LOOOVES it up there. A heavily wooded lot, that she gets a good run of, with lots of...SQUIRRELS!!!
She can be sleeping in the backseat, and we get to within 1 mile of Taylor rd, which is wooded rd that leads to the cabin, and she's up and begins to whine.
I get the door open to the car and one leg out, and she's out of the car and running.
