But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No small dog can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.
Here’s a helpful guide to securing your pet in the car, Safety First - Buckle Up Your Dog. This guide indicates that “in a crash, an unrestrained pet could not only be seriously injured, but could seriously injure people in the car. For example, at 30 mph, a 50lb (22.5kg) Border Collie would be thrown forward with a force equivalent to a polar bear!” Imagine that, a polar bear!? How fascinating! Does that mean a Chihuahua would be thrown forward with a force equivalent to a panda bear? A miniature horse? An emu? I will do the calculations soon and get back to you.
I’ll drink to that:
