“If a lawmaker has her way, those carefree rides in cars with their heads out the window will be long gone. Instead, dogs — and cats — will have to be buckled up for safety, just like humans. No states have laws requiring animals be restrained inside a car, although a bill was introduced in Tennessee last year requiring it for animals in the front seat, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Cathleen Lewis, spokeswoman for AAA of New Jersey, said eight states — not including New Jersey — have laws requiring animals be restrained when in the beds of pick-up trucks.”
