Do you think people who have their dogs riding in the bed of a truck should be arrested?

I don’t understand why people would even take that chance. What do you think of the practice?

Following is a conversation I had with a guy once, and I swear this really happened.
Me: “How do you know your dog isn’t going to jump out of the back of the truck?”
Him: “Because it’s an instinct for them to stay in!”
Go on to other dog topics for about five minutes.
Five minutes later:
Him: “Yeah. My sister had a really neat dog. Big old German Shepherd. But he died.”
Me: “How’d he die?”
Him: “He jumped out of the back of a pick up doing 60.”
Me: THUNK!
The discussion ended then, but I don’t think he ever picked up on the inconsistency.
