A new bill has been proposed in Florida that would enact a series of animal protections and guidelines, such as banning cat declawing, animal testing for cosmetics and dogs hanging their heads out of windows.
Florida Senate Bill 932, filed by state Minority Democratic Leader Lauren Book, says that dogs would not be allowed to stick any part of their bodies out of the window, ride in the driver's lap or ride on motorcycles.
Dogs traveling in motor vehicles would not be able to ride on roofs, fenders or hoods. They would need to be secured in a size-appropriate crate and in a harness or pet seat belt, and be under supervision from someone other than the driver, the bill says.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I only lower the window just enough they can expose their face to the wind... but not jump out.
..."As the video stated above, the little dog who jumped out thankfully survived!
A lot of TikTok dog owners applaud this proposed bill, with @Jerryyablans commenting, "As someone who owns a dog and uses a harness for when in the car I couldn’t agree more… my setup is less the $50 and would save my dogs life." @Stupid Steve replies, "If people let their dogs have that much of their bodies out of cars they should have a leash on so they don’t jump out." @Andrew Torres types, "Our new Brittany spaniel has a problem with cars so we buy a car harness that clips into the seat belts. She was freaked out at first but eventually she relaxed."
What do you think about this proposed bill? Do you let your dog ride in the front with the window down or are you more cautious."...
