Everything’s just so doggone paw-litical.
A state bill filed in Florida last week would make it illegal for dogs to stick their heads out of moving car windows — a past time man’s best friend famously loves.
If passed, a dog would not be allowed to “extend its head or any other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is operating the motor vehicle on a public roadway,”The bill would greatly limit how a dog could be situated inside a vehicle. Canines would need to be secured either by a harness or pet seat belt that is specifically designed for the car — and would not be restrained at the neck — or inside a crate that adheres to particular size regulations.
“Although most dogs love to stick their heads out open windows, the wind can seriously irritate mucous membranes and blow pieces of grit or other debris into their eyes. Pets could also be seriously injured by objects as you drive down the road.”Book did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
