This might seem a silly question, but does anybody transport their dog - in particular of labrador sort of size, in their 996? If so how? I'm sure ours would travel on the passenger seat - but that's not very safe and my wife wouldn't like having to travel in the back!
Answer will have significant influence on the next car purchased!

thanks

My lab is 34 kgs goes in my 993 with no issues at all, we put a big doggie pillow in the rear and dog is fitted with a full restraint harness which is attatched to rear seat belt ,he can move around in a limited fashion and cant come forward when braking Like this http://www.yourdogsneeds.co.uk/clix-car-safe-harness-large-p-156.html
 
You might strap down some webbing or something similar to give the dog's paws some purchase or they can slide around a bit in the back of a 996.
 
Thanks, looks promising, I'm assuming there is at least as much room in the back of the 996. Tony
 
Amusing-at Woodvale Rally this last weekend,there were no end of all sizes of dogs riding with their owners ,all looking very "superior".1 guy had a very low 3 wheeler open Morgan look-alike & it cruised past with his dog ,wearing goggles perched in the drivers seat,front paws on the wheel,looking extremely competent & smug.No doubt some member of R18 might have a jpeg of it-I didn't have my camera. PS We have 1 cat & 5 tortoises but they don't generally travel at speed with us in the Porsches!
 
The best one I saw was a lady who had a Fiat Barcetta with a large Golden Retriever that regularly sat on the passenger seat, looking forward.... so what, I hear you say?... of course the Barchetta only came in LHD, so at a quick glance it looked like the dog was driving :)
 
We've got a dalmatian. She goes in the back ... begrudgingly as she cannot lie down as the seats are too small so has to sit up. Looks very regal sitting up against the back rest. Pain in the arse trying to get the hairs out though so I put plenty of sheets in the back.
 
Ive removed the rear seats for the Dog. Remove the small torx screw in the centre and they just come out. Other parts are secured with Velcro It also gives a LOT more space for luggage if you go on Holiday!!

Yep ... We take two English Springer Spaniels in the back of ours, in proper dog harnesses that clip into the seat belt, this ability was a key part of the decision to get one to replace an older classic car
