Frank Drove, Dottie Rode Shotgun, and Biscuit Took the Best Seat
The old pickup's cab is snug with three passengers, and the most important one sits right in the middle. Biscuit perches on the bench seat, ears straight up, white chest puffed and a brown collar around his neck, staring ahead with the proud look of a dog who knows he's the navigator. Dottie sits beside him in a cream cable-knit sweater with her seat belt on, laughing as she leans toward the dog. Frank, at the wheel in a matching sweater and a khaki ball cap, grins at both of them. Sunlight spills through the dusty windshield, showing a worn dashboard and potted plants outside.
Corgis tend to love going along on errands, but their short legs and long backs make car safety especially important. Jumping in and out of a high truck cab can strain a Corgi's spine, so lifting with support under the chest and hindquarters, or using a ramp, is gentler on them. Inside the vehicle, a crash-tested harness attached to a seat belt, or a secured crate, keeps a dog from being thrown forward in a sudden stop and stops them from wandering into the driver's space. Never leave a dog alone in a parked car, even with the windows cracked.
Biscuit is ready for the open road, wherever Frank and Dottie decide to take him. With a passenger this cheerful, every errand feels like a road trip.
