Here’s someone who figured out a way to do even worse to a dog in transit than Mitt Romney:

Outrage as Good Samaritan snaps picture of a dog riding without water in tiny crate attached to SUV doing 70mph on Georgia highway

A concerned Facebook user posted an unsettling photo on the social media site over the weekend showing a dog riding in a small, open airline crate strapped to the back of an SUV.

The image was taken by Nicole Hubbard, an animal control officer from South Carolina, who spotted the dog carrier attached to a car driving down Interstate 95 in Georgia.

Hubbard and her boyfriend were returning home from a vacation in Florida when they spied a Dodge Durango SUV with North Carolina license plates doing 70mph on I-95 with an open dog carrier tethered to a cargo holder.

The crate was tied with a bungee cord and a nylon strap, and the cargo carrier had no protective ramp, Yahoo! Shine reported. To make matters worse, the container was positioned directly behind the exhaust pipe.

Having no jurisdiction in Georgia, Hubbard decided to alert the state highway patrol and was told over the phone that an officer will be dispatched to stop the SUV.

However, it was not until Hubbard and the driver of the Dodge crossed into South Carolina more than an hour and a half later that a local highway patrol officer pulled over the SUV with the dog crate.
