I didn't think there was one.

I used to have a convertible Moris Minor and Blu used to sit in the front seat with her ears flapping in the breeze! :lol:

I did have a lead attached to the bottom of the seat as I was scared she might jump out if I stopped at traffic lights or something though :lol:

Your dog should be secured in the back with a fitted seatbelt, as much for your sake as its own. In an accident a dog can become a missile and cause injury or death. Mine travel in the rear behind a dog guard. We have a fitted tail guard as well in case of rear impact and possible escape on to a busy road. My dogs are too precious to put at risk.
