Bad as my dogs are, they are usually better behaved (and quieter) than most kids I've encountered in campgrounds. Maybe there should be rules requiring parents to keep their kids on leashes.

Ever wonder why people have to get a license for their dog, but don't have to have one for kids?

Is it a law to have your dog licensed? Who says?..... State or Federal?

As far as I know municipality law.

In Connecticut it is a state law enforced locally and statewide that all dogs be registered. The monies originally were set aside to pay for livestock damage that dogs did. Now it is just another tax. You have to show a rabies certificate to get your dog registered (the rabies shot is a good requirement), but the money just goes into the General Fund (whatever that is). I am pretty sure that most states around here require that dogs be licensed and that the local officials are responsible for enforcement. That probably clears it all up

My dog has for the 4 years of his life ridden with me in the big truck when I'm working and rides around in the back of the dodge whether I'm just going to town or 300-1000 miles to the racetrack. He's never jumped out and enjoys riding back there 'cause he gets to smell and see the countryside. He even stays dry in the bed in a heavy rainstorm due to the way the air flows between the p/u and TT.



BTW, around here dog registration is in towns only. Since I live in the sticks, it's not required.

Here's a tip... don't let the dog drive... you'll be running down stray cats, checking out fire hydrants, rambling back and forth across the road way... and god help you all if there happens to be a ***** in heat somewhere.



Yup... definately a good idea to do the driving yourself.
