The risk of giving a puppy a chance to hang out an open auto window while in movement has been shown in one nerve racking video. The pooch was seen out of the window of a SUV, and into three occupied paths of activity in Golden, Colorado Tuesday. The pooch didn’t appear to understand the risk he’s in. Mike Kannely shot the frightening video, which has been gotten by ViralHog, amid surge hour on Interstate 70. “I pummeled on my brakes and fortunately I could stop in time,” he said. There were really two mutts in the auto. At first, one was catching the breeze from the SUV’s back window. Then his little buddy appeared and did the same before opting to jump. “If we’d been going full speed on the highway, it would have died instantly,” Kannely said. The driver of the SUV pulled over to the side of the road and a passenger heads back to rescue the dog. Sadly, the pooch was limping after his death-defying leap. The guy picks up the injured dog. Mike’s wife, Erica, posted the video on Facebook as a warning to fellow animal lovers. Erica told Inside Edition: “I have two little Chihuahuas and I let them look out, you know? And I’m like: ‘We need to share this, let people know.’ We try to make our dogs happy, we could kill our dogs.” Experts say canine owners should never let their dog hang out the car window. Emergency room veterinarian Dr. Laura Gibeon said: “The best way to secure your dog in car is a crate or a seat harness.” There’s another benefit to dog car harnesses. You can also prevent your dog from being injured in an accident. Erica says her days of letting their dogs hang out the car window are over, saying: “No way will I do that again, absolutely not.”
