That is how the Eddie Bauer car became owned by the dogs. You would NEVER put a live person in the back seat!!! It would be cruel after the Irish Setter rode in it....
They have seat belts for dogs. I throw a sheet in the SUV for the dogs to sit on when we transport the dogs, it is easily washable.

In Florida, it is illegal to lock dogs in a car, good law, some people don't realize how hot it can get.
