Today I was driving over to my brother and SILs house with my dog. We were going down the road, and I was going about 35mph. I had the window down so Andy could stick his head out. All of a sudden, Andy jumped out of the car. Seriously. He jumped out of a moving vehicle. Luckily, I had one hand underneath him (before he jumped) so I was able to grab his back right paw. He was literally hanging out of my car, and I was holding onto him by only his paw, while the car was still moving.
I pulled him back in, and as I did I felt something in his foot pop. I didn't know if his leg was okay or not (it's fine), but I could care less since at the very least he wasn't roadkill. If I hadn't caught his leg, he probably would have died. I don't know what 9 lb. dog could survive jumping out of a moving vehicle and landing headfirst onto the road. It was seriously a miracle that I caught his foot.
I don't know what he was thinking. This dog is scared of the vacuum, the steam mop, trash bags, and a whole lot more...but he jumps out of a moving vehicle. Needless to say, when he's in the car, I will not be driving with the window down anymore.
