Why do people insist on bringing up things like this that are totally irrelevant to the common case? Only half of American households own dogs and 140lbs is a 99.9th-percentile dog body weight so this little issue of yours is relevant to at most one of every 2000 households.
You also can't haul an alpaca in uber, since we're enumerating corner cases.
- pacaro 12y agoHahahaha, true I have a ridiculous dog, but the classic family pet (I'm thinking lab, retriever, pit, etc.) is easily in the 40-90 lb range. I have no idea what taxi or Uber policies are for this situation, I know that they turn a blind eye to dogs small enough to be held on your lap. To literally replace the family car all these cases need to be covered, not just the convenient single urbanite cases

Certainly there are many excellent reasons to own one. But on the other hand the impossibility of car-free and car-light lifestyles are overstated.
