A grandma with curly grey hair and black glasses sits at the wheel of an old truck beside a silver Weimaraner. 2 / 24

Grandma Doris Started the Old Truck. Her Co-Pilot Was Already Buckled In.

The steering wheel is worn smooth, the bench seat has seen decades of errands, and Pewter has claimed the passenger side like it was built for him. Grandma Doris sits behind the wheel in a soft grey cardigan and bold black glasses, smiling over at her silver co-pilot. He sits tall with his collar on and his ears hanging low, watching her with that calm, serious Weimaraner gaze. Through the window, a pale house and a pot of pink flowers hint at a quiet street and a short trip to somewhere familiar.

Dogs riding along in vehicles is a happy tradition, but a little safety goes a long way. A dog loose on the seat can be thrown forward during a sudden stop, so many owners use a crash-tested harness that clips into the seat belt or a secured crate. Keeping a dog's head inside the window protects eyes and ears from debris. Never leave a dog alone in a parked vehicle on a warm day, because the temperature inside can climb quickly even with the windows cracked. For older drivers, a calm, well-trained dog makes the ride more relaxing for everyone.

Weimaraners are known for wanting to be wherever their people are, and that includes the front seat. To Pewter, a drive to the hardware store is a full adventure with his best friend.

Some partnerships do not need a radio or a map. They just need an old truck, an open road and someone good to share the bench with.
