Do dogs jump out of car windows?

+1 vote
I sometimes see cars go by with dogs looking out of open windows. Is this safe?

Dogs like to stick their heads out of the windows of moving cars as they can pick up very interesting scents. However if a dog sees something that s/he can't resist, the dog will jump out of the window. It's very unsafe as they don't know the dangers when jumping out - getting hit by another car, breaking bones, getting lost and so on. If you are traveling by car with your dog, make sure s/he is restrained with a doggie seatbelt and keep the window open just enough for the dog's snout to be able to smell the outdoors.
