As kmm has said, we are not just talking about dogs falling out, there is the road debris etc. also. I also don't think anyone has mentioned the hot sun beating directly down on the dog and also the metal bottom of the truck bed. A good hot summer day, I'm sure that becomes very uncomfortable on the dogs feet. Very dangerous to leave your dog in the car on a hot day also, but I think that maybe people think that because the dog isn't locked up inside, that it is safe to leave him sitting in the sun in the parking lot. As far as dogs falling out and becoming injured...I personally know of 3 incidents over the years... one being a dog that was tethered and jumped out and hung himself.
