I tether my two 50 lb dogs in the golf cart. I don’t need this to happen.
But more importantly, they are seat belted in the car. They can turn, sit and stand but that’s it.
I don’t want two dogs flying around in an accident killing themselves, each other or me.

My dog has a car seat in the car and car seat in the golf cart. Her harness is tethered to the secured car seat. I have actually seen golf cart drivers holding onto the leash of their dog and allowing it to run alongside the cart! It’s a tragedy waiting to happen and it is a truly irresponsible thing to do.

I keep my little Jack Russell Terrier well tethered in.
I think it would hurt me more than her if she fell out or jumped out.

I should be clear, my post about the 2 small dogs was not to say the owners were BAD people. I was concerned. I would not do it.

But, I am certain they are good people, they believe their dogs are safe. I think their dogs are no doubt very well trained, and would almost always stay in the cart.

I would never leave my dogs in a cart that does not mean, I think everyone should do what I do. If something happened to their dogs, it would break my heart. But, it is not for me to condemn them.

Some dog owners are clueless. Not just unrestrained cart rides but also making them walk on scorching hot pavements.

There are leashes with one end that clips into the seat belt buckle holder and the other to attach to the dog's harness (I would not attach it to a collar.) The whole thing is length adjustable. This is what we use for dogs riding in the car. (We don't have a golf cart.)

Hard to turn someone when most people that read TOTV doesn’t have the stones to confront the person doing something wrong. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!!

I really hope bad karma happens to that dogs owner.

So you’re suggesting people get “stones” to confront cart drivers who don’t harness their pets?

Our daughter was giving our six months old puppy a ride and holding on to his leash. She made a sharp turn and he fell out. She jerked on the leash, pulling him under the rear wheel, killing the pup. Beautiful puppy gone forever. Connect them securely so they can't fall, or jump, out.

So, she was driving while holding the pup? I hope she doesn't get another puppy...

C’mon people. How many grandchildren and infants have we all seen that aren’t fastened in riding in carts?
Maybe they’re not as important as pets.

That is yet another issue. Being able to identify who is driving OWNES a golf cart. Simple solution-require plates on them
