Thanks for posting this, Giselda. We *always* keep our automatic
windows on "child lock." Inconvenient to human passengers at times,
but we never have to worry about our dogs being strangled.

This came from one of the other lists, and I felt i should share as I
see so many dogs with heads out windows....
This is very scary, and it is the reason my dogs never travel in a
car unless crated!!!

I was recently told a horrifying story by one of our puppy owners who
agreed that it was worth sharing with the world if it prevents this
happening to anyone else's dog ( or child). Please feel free to
crosspost as you wish, including Club newsletters.
I will start by saying that Shamrock has been a complainer/screamer
from literally the moment she was being born, thus her official name
is Palarset's It'sACryingSham. She is almost 6 years old and was one
of the sisters that I cried to the list about 5 yrs ago when the
family's grandfather came home and left the yard gate open, resulting
in River's death and Shamrock badly broken.
Shamrock was in the back seat and complaining so, this being normal,
Dawn ignored her for a bit. When she turned to tell her to knock it
off, Shamrock's head was out the side window and the window had gone
up and was literally strangling her. Sham had put her paw on the
automatic "up" button and it had gone as far as it could, pushing up
against her throat!!!! Of course, the more she panicked and kept
pawing that button, the more it tried to continue up. Dawn slammed on
the brakes, got the window down and had a big meltdown, needless to
say. Drivers behind had seen what was happening so were well back and
there were no rear - enders.
She was immediately taken to the Vet's for an examination where all
seemed fine but she did bruise internally and externally and had
trouble swallowing and having her normal "discussions" for about a
week. One VERY lucky gal and "Mom" who now has all the windows locked
in a position where the window is just down a smidge. Sham was not
normally a dog to stick her head out the window but did occasionally
and almost lost her life because of it and her antics.
