Grandpa Asked Who Wanted to Go for a Ride. Rusty Was in the Truck Before He Finished.

Behind the wheel of a well-worn pickup, Grandpa Hank turns toward his passenger with a crinkly, delighted grin. The cab tells its own story: a faded dash, a sun-bleached seat, a seatbelt slung across the red flannel. Rusty sits bolt upright beside him, chest out and paws planted, staring straight ahead through the windshield with the seriousness of a co-pilot reading the map. Through the side windows, quiet houses and green hedges suggest an easy errand around town, maybe to the hardware store or the feed shop, the kind of trip that is better with company.

Beagles generally love car rides, but a riding dog is safest when properly secured. A dog sitting loose in the front seat can be thrown forward in a sudden stop, and an airbag deploying can seriously injure a dog. Many experts suggest the back seat with a crash-tested harness and seat belt attachment, or a secured crate, as the safer option. Keeping windows only partly open helps prevent a determined nose from leading the rest of the dog outside, and dogs should never be left alone in a parked vehicle, since temperatures inside can climb dangerously fast even on a mild day. Short, positive trips also help nervous dogs learn to enjoy the car.

Rusty looks like he would happily ride along on every single errand Hank has ever planned. Wherever the old truck is headed today, it is clear both of them are glad to be going together.
