I know. My jaw dropped too- I couldn't believe that anyone would do that! Then again, I can't believe anyone would drive on the highway with their dogs in the back of the pick-up. Oh and I'm thinking good ole Mitt should be subjected to the same *12* hours the dog was! The article doesn't even mention if they stopped to let the dog go potty! (though, with the excrement on the car I'm pretty sure that's a 'no.')

As yet another 'why I love my hubby' he has actually told people (like at a gas station or something and he sees dogs in the back of their open pickup) "Hey, you know that's illegal, right?" Most often- they don't know. Sometimes they do get a bit testy when they're informed of this... But he still does it. :)
