Be sure your dog and its leash are inside the car before you drive off.
If your dog's leash is caught under a wheel outside of the car, it will jerk the dog into a hard door's surface when you drive off. Dogs have gone into seizures and even been killed from this careless act.

Some people leave their dog in the car with the air conditioning running....
Only to return and find that the dog inadvertently turned the key and shut the engine off...baking in the summer heat. Leave your dogs at home when running errands.
