Last week, on +Car Talk's FIDO Blog, Sip and I wrote a piece on the Center for Pet Safety. We looked at how they test crates, doggie seatbelts and other pet travel gear.
This was the first time I was totally speechless, which is a problem if my one job is to come up with actual words. After watching videos titled "Safety Harness Catastrophic Failure 2," it's easy to see why maybe I was at a loss for words.
That said, there is an upshot - companies ARE changing the way we gauge and rate safety equipment for Fido and Fluffy, and this is a VERY good thing!
