Why wasn't the spaniel wearing a seatbelt? Or was it one of those new Dog air bags I heard about

Terrifying moment driver's car flipped and somersaulted before landing on another vehicle is captured by dashcam – with woman behind the wheel miraculously escaping with minor injuries
This is the terrifying moment a car flips into the air, somersaults twice and crashes down onto an oncoming vehicle.
Despite the colossal damage, the female driver escaped with only minor injuries after losing control of her car and off the road in Wales.
The shocking footage, captured by Norman Drinkwater's dashcam, shows the vehicle veer into his path and up an embankment, spinning upside down, then smashing into the side of his car.
Mr Drinkwater, a shop owner who was travelling with his dog at the time, said the woman was 'lucky to be alive' after the accident on Saturday at 11.30am.
Speaking to
he said: 'I was driving towards Trefnant when I saw a car lose control right in front of me - it was a terrifying sight.
'I passed by as the car was spinning in mid-air to the side of me. It hit my car as it landed.
'I stopped and called the ambulance and the lady was taken to hospital as a precaution.
'She is a local lady and I spoke to her husband later on and he told me she they thought she may have injured her back but she was allowed home an hour later.
'It must've been really scary for her.'
Norman posted the video footage of the crash - on the B5381 between Trefnant and St Asaph in Denbighshire - on Facebook and viewers reacted with disbelief.
One said: 'This is shocking, the woman was so lucky to escape unhurt. It must've been terrifying for her and the oncoming driver.'
Norman, who runs Trefnant Store, added: 'She's extremely lucky to be alive after that.'
Police were called to the scene and closed the road for two hours.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: 'An ambulance attended and a woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries as a precaution.'
