Stephanie is going to bring in personally well over $1 million this year ( from December, 2023 thru 2024) but she is still far too cheap to take the dog to the vet, get his eyes looked after, trim its nails, install a small fenced in area for the dog or a small, invisible, fenced in area for the dog as they let him out the back door without anyone with him, pay for doggy daycare, get an appropriate dog seat for the car which will enable to look out the windows, but will also strap him in appropriately to where he cannot jump and run all over the interior of the car, etc.
I have a cousin who is an emergency room physician in Florida. He once told me about a case that came in where a man had been driving his car and his dog was unrestrained in the car. When the car was rear ended, the dog flew through the air, like a projectile, and hit the man in the head so hard that it forced the man’s head into a side window ( even with the air bags deployed ), cracking his skull. He also broke 2 vertebrae and ruptured 3 discs in his neck. The man had to undergo emergency brain surgery and had to have a portion of his skull temporary removed because his brain was so swollen from the blow. He later underwent additional surgery and mechanical fixation of the vertebrae in his neck and removal of a portion of the ruptured discs. The dog received massive internal injuries and died.
it is important to properly restrain a dog when they are riding in a vehicle. When Stephanie was laughing about Ratso crawling behind her back as she was riding in the car, if Philip had to suddenly brake or stop, she should be thrown back in her seat, and probably would crush Ratso, seriously injuring or killing him. 6 pound Ratso would easily become a projectile in any type of a car accident if he were not properly restrained.
