Then hook him up with a 2' or so of rope to his harness so he can't get his paws up on the rails, but he can stick his noes just over the edge. He loves it till we get to around 50-55 on a main road, then he just lays down.

When you do get your cap, or next time they are all loaded up for a drive, you should post a picture.

Also if you can, find one OR if your buying one; spend a little extra for a drop down front window. Makes it easy to clean it, and your rear truck window.
