I’ve been through several kinds of restraints.

I used to just toss the dogs in the back, roaming free.

Then a dog got thrown out of a car during a minor wreck.

Then I went to crates and somebody’s 2 dogs were thrown out of a rolled-over SUV on I-70 and their crates *exploded* apart.

They were so dazed from the rolling and bouncing from the crates tumbling down the highway that they couldn’t get themselves out of the oncoming traffic.

So...I went to wire-coated heavy cable attached to the “mystery rings” mounted on the floor of my Yukon cargo area.

It took a while to find a suitable harness that would not constrict the dog, twist around on the dog, injure his neck or spine during an accident or break during a fast stop.

The one I showed you seems to do the job.

If the car rolls, he cannot be thrown around like he was in a crate.
Even if we land upside down and the Yuke is totaled, he can not get out on the roadway as he is still belted in.

This arrangement is what I am most comfortable with, having covered every base I can think of.

[I have quite a collection of expensive but functionally useless harnesses]....:))

I’d get the boy a seat belt of some sort.

Lots of crazy people out on the roads, these days.
