This is a law in several States -- certainly in Massachusetts for starters. The Mass Federation of Dog Clubs and Responsible Dog Owners could probably provide you a template and other salient info. One of the most 'innocently' frightening things one can do to their animal (or *child!!!*) is to leave them unsecured in the back of a pick-up. The results can be unimaginable if you haven't seen them for yourself. *TRUST ME!* Good luck! All my hopes, Vicky and the Horde (w/ the neato *enclosed* van) =P~ Seleya
