We've had our dog for 5 years. She is the first one I can remember that hates riding in a car. When I take her anywhere...vet, grooming, boarding, etc... before we get a block from the house she is "screeching"!!! It's not howling. It's a high pitched scream! She lays there in the seat, not trying to get out or move around. Just makes life miserable until we get where we're going.
When I go get her leash or harness, she jumps around so excited about going. Almost pulls me out to the truck wanting to get in and go. Then, when the screeching starts, you'd think I was trying to murder her!
Guess it's never a good idea to try reading a dog's mind.

Aww. She is a beautiful pup. She looks so smart. Beauty and intelligence who could ask for anything more? She is probably a very good girl.

I've never had a dog that didn't enjoy riding in the car with me. My first-ever dog was a German Shepherd who looked just like the one in the avove video.

The German Shepherds are SOOO smart! Sometimes too smart for their own good. Granddaughter and her SO have two males. She can point her finger at hers and say "Bang!". He'll fall down on his side and lay there as if he's dead. Won't move a muscle for anyone until she tells him to get up. Within the past few weeks, his has learned to open doors. Can turn door knobs with his paws until they open. She was in the shower one day and the bathroom door opened. Her SO was still at work and it scared her. Lo and behold, she was greeted by a Shepherd's nose poking around the shower curtain!! Had trouble with him knowing about what time her SO gets home from work and he would be in the garage waiting. Had opened the interior door to the garage.
As if two 100 lb. Shepherds weren't enough, they adopted a female Black Labrador and Pit Bull mix. She had been abused and was very timid. She's a peach! So nice and gentle. Christmas, we had a grandson's new puppy and the daughter's terrier. The Pit/Lab mix had more fun with them. She would "dance" up and down and play with both as if they'd been lifelong friends.
We've had a few big dogs. Most of our have been smaller types. The one we have now weighs about 17 or 18 pounds.

I have a list of things I would do to demented and evil humans who harm and abuse animals just because they can. For fun. These people are worthless pieces of flesh. Weaklings.
When I was a child there was a kid who lived on our block. He was a nut job but his parents chose to believe he'd grow out of it. Maybe they were whacked out too or afraid of him.
Here's how nuts he was. As I was walking home from school I heard him, Douglas, call my name. He was hardly ever in school. A phase mom and dad chose to believe would pass. He was in the woods and had a dead dog laying in front of him while he dug through the poor things remains. Chopping off body parts! Having a fun time, I lost it, grabbed the knife out of hands and asked him if he'd like me to do that to him? How much fun would that be?
Big brave Doug refused my offer.

I don't know. We moved to Long Island and out of Queens, NYC. He probably ended up in jail. I couldn't care leas what happened to him. I have no patience for nut jobs. I considered him a crack pot and his mom and dad enablers. Or, they were afraid of him.
