Although I never had the dog in my lap, in his friskier years he used to sit on the front passenger seat looking out the window.

One day I was coming to a stop sign behind a pickup truck and the dog darted across the car and into my lap to see something out my window.

Guess what? The distraction was just enough to slow my response time causing a minor "rear-ender" with the pickup. No serious damage, but it could have been.

It does happen!
