I have recently inherited a large dog. I am not a dog person, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I was on the way back from a road trip this weekend and was being followed by a cop (I wasn’t pulled over, this just got me thinking). If I get pulled over with the dog secured in the backseat, should I do anything special? He’s a barker, and is pretty intimidating, so I don’t want anything to escalate.

Any tips to keep everyone safe? Or is this something that cops deal with all the time?
