Kasey cries and cries in a crate in the car, but we aren't going to let him loose either. We've found a tether strap that attaches to his harness--not his collar!!--and to the metal loops in the trunk of my forester. The lead on them is very short so he can't wander around or get too tossed around in an accident. But like I said...I still don't think we've found the perfect solution.
