Court House - Dogs or other pets riding in open truck beds is not legal. The spouter could have called 911 and reported the infraction to the police, along with the license plate number and state. Not only was the dog in danger, but also people attempting to assist the dog or avoid it, if it fell or jumped from the truck. This was an accident waiting to happen. Each year, dogs and cats are killed on local highways. The laws are made to prevent sad endings for everyone potentially involved.
