    Not sure how this guy managed to lose control, but take note people. Having your wife and 13 dogs in the truck with you, regardless of the size of the dogs, if a bit too much. Glad I am not the next guy that will be assigned this tractor.

    Once I transported 11 dogs in my truck. One was mine and 10 were rescues from the Roswell NM shelter coming to Michigan.
    Another time I had my dog and picked up two Chow-chows going to a rescue in Ontario Canada. One of the chows was a 'little' preggers (according to a vet). 1 week later, she gave birth to 9 pups on my newly washed bedding in a truck stop in N. Little Rock. 12 dogs total.

    Carrying a group of puppies as a rescue is one thing. This guy was breeding dogs and raising the pups in the truck. Not quite the same situation in my mind as a one time move.

    And frankly, I can;t see the nearly constant movement of a truck as a suitable environment for puppies to be raised in, not even taking into account how many high strung chihauhau's there already are out in the world.

    Quite frankly, it's guys like this that cause companies to have no pets policies.

    Ya..I dn't get this either...not suitable, not a good atmosphere for the dogs let alone the people.
    I can't imagine breeding and raising dogs in a truck! Just doesn't make any sense.
    DOGS need yards and room to do their thing. THIS isn't right at all!:biggrin_25512:

    That company has a policy against that amount of pets in the truck, last time I checked with their policy, they were only allowed one pet per truck.

    I'm not telling,but,some folks breed people in their trucks sleeper,guess more than one dog is too much,just kidding of course. That guy should face animal cruelty charges,you need so much square footage for each dog in a kennel by law,not nearly enough in the truck.
