Hi All,
On April 28, 2000 I was on my way to the All Breed shows in Eastern
Washington on Interstate 90, pulling a trailer with my Chev Van.
My GSD bitch Kiki was in her crate tied down in the back of the van. a wind
gust hit from the side and turned us over onto the roof. The trailer stayed
hitched and when we came to rest blocking, the entire freeway, all the
windows on the left side of the van were gone! more than one inch of the lip
around the 500 crate had been ground off on the freeway surface!
Kiki was uninjured, the van and trailer were totaled. Kiki went on to the
show with her handler Julie Hamasaki who was a few miles behnd us in
traffic. She took reserve to two 5 point majors and finished her
Championship the following week.
If Kiki had not been in her crate secured to the floor of the van she would
have been killed!
Our dogs always travel in crates. When my wife needs protection she can
reach back and open the crate door.
