A. If your dog is riding in the back of a pickup truck, it needs to be restrained by a minimum of two tethers fixed to opposite sides of the vehicle. The tethers must attach to a collar or harness that the animal is wearing. The animal can also be confined in a humane manner inside a locked animal carrier mounted in the bed of the truck. The carrier must be mounted so that it will not slide out or fall off of the truck. ORS 811.200 “Carrying dog on external part of a vehicle” is the law regarding dogs loose in/on vehicles.
