Cute as a button... until Scruffy hits the pavement at 30 miles per hour

Sure, Scruffy looked adorable as the breeze flowed through his hair from the rolled-down window of your Prius. You probably thought that Scruffy, sitting in your young son's lap, was secure as your vehicle motored northbound along Rainier Avenue South near South Charles Street around noon today.

Secure... unless you brake suddenly when some jaywalker crosses five lines of traffic. Or secure unless some driver with his ear attached to his HTC Touch Pro rear ends your hatchback with his Yukon Denali. Then Scruffy goes tumbling onto Rainier Avenue South... and into the path of a double-coach #7.

Even more intriguing -- and disturbing -- is that the rear window remained rolled down as you turned west on South Dearborn Street and maneuvered in the lane that enters Interstate 5.

What the hell were you thinking?

"Red asphalt" doesn't look good on anyone, much-less your family dog. Roll up your car window so Scruffy doesn't fall out.
