    So a few months ago we brought home a new puppy a shelter mix named Roscoe. At about the same time, we also brought home a new laptop for our daughter Hailey to replace the six year-old machine she had been using. It took about a day and a half before we realized that these two things are not compatible.

But even though driving your pet is inherently safer than other modes of transportation, your pet could still be hurt if you dont practice certain...
