I just saw a post on my neighborhood app, it was someone whose large dog jumped out of the car, thanking the person who helped recover it.

I see these people every single day, driving with their dog inside the car.
How is it legal to drive with an unsecured dog in the car? Do they realize it can cause terrible accidents? They say the solution is to keep the windows closed, but it’s still dangerous if the dog is free to move inside the vehicle. How do they not think about it, and why is there no law against it, is beyond me. (USA)
