Things sure have changed in the last few years. Used to be if you saw a dog in a vehicle it was either the dog catcher's wagon or the bed of a farmer's pick-up. Now it is a common occurrence that our pals travel with us not just to the local dog park or hiking trail, but to work, vacation, etc. We want to have them with us and it's great for us and them.
Now at least one automobile manufacturer is starting to catch on and use this as a selling point, with "Dog Package" options available when you buy Honda Element.

Howls all around!

I would love to have a built in ramp. At the present time all but Morgan can jump in, but as they age, lifting 50 and 60 pound dogs into the car can get rough. And if they've been swimming, it can be pretty messy, too.
Having our pups driving us around is a good idea! Doubt we'll get lost LOL!
