A Maine lawmaker recently proposed a bill that would require dogs to be harnessed or tethered in moving vehicles. In other words: No more dogs joyously hanging out the window, jowls and ears flapping in the breeze. “My dog’s going to be so pissed when he finds out,” Andrew Hesselbart wrote on the Facebook page of the Portland Press Herald. “You wouldn’t put your child in the car unrestrained so you shouldn’t put your pet in the car unrestrained either. “We are not running around giving tickets” for dogs without seat belts, he said.
