The Ramsey Journal reported that legislation had been introduced into the Oregon and California legislatures to protect family pets. Many people allowed their dogs to ride on the running board of the car when they travelled. The proposed legislation would mandate that some sort of railing or fender be provided to prevent the pooches from falling off. The Journal stated that “All states should require such protection for our best friend.”
