my dog eat my seatbelt!!!

[Bryan Rodgers]

I think the more important question here is, how long is "a little
while"?!??

Dogs shouldn't be locked into cars ever! If you can't take him into where
ever it is you are going, he's better off at home... ...if he chewed through
that much stuff in what you consider "a little while", it was far to long
for the poor guy.

Give the dog to someone who will care for him.

(yeah, I'm pissed!)

Subject: my dog eat my seatbelt!!!


I recently acquired what I thought was a remarkibly well behaved 8 month
old dog, unfortunately I left him in my car (87 4kq) for a little while
and he decided to chew through the front and rear seat belts on the
driver's side. He also chewed on the door panels but this is not a
safety issue. It is almost funny, but anyway now I need to replace the 
seat belts and train this beast of a dog. I assume, totally uninformed
as usual, that it would be no more expensive to buy some sort of 4 point
harness than to get new stock belts? Does anyone have experience
installing a harness in a 4kq while retaining at least partial rear seat
function? I have seen bars that run between to two front seat shoulder
belt mounts for other cars, does anyone make one for Audis or could I
just fabricate one? 

thanks and enjoy the leftovers
