Traveling with Dogs: 11 Dogs Who Love Car Rides

There’s nothing quite like traveling with dogs. Most pooches love a good car ride spent with their cheeks flopping in the wind, their head bobbing up and down and a big toothy grin spread across their face.

While getting behind the wheel of a car might seem like a chore to you, to them, even a spin around the block is the adventure of a lifetime. And all it takes is five little words: “Wanna go for a ride?”

Here are 11 dogs who love riding in the car with their hoomans.

Traveling with dogs ain’t no thing for Murphy, who is clearly ready to hit the open road.

“But first, shades!”

Just get Chewie in his car seat, and he’ll happily nap until you get back home.

When your favorite song comes on the radio.

These pups wonder why they have to sit in traffic jams created by hoomans when all they want to do is flap in the wind.

Your driver, Horton, will arrive in two minutes.

“Get in the car, hooman; adventures await!”

“Maybe if I drool on the window, my hooman will stop and get me a Puppuccino!”

All of these doggos clearly love the car, and if your pup does too, never forget—safety first! When traveling with dogs, just as your body is protected from a potential accident with a seat belt, theirs should be, too. Keep your dog safe during car rides by getting the right supplies, like a seat-belt tether, a dog car seat or a dog carrier that can be securely stowed.
