My concern is that a dog can be a very large and heavy projectile if you are involved in a sudden stop situation. Maybe enough to actually kill anyone in its path as it hurtles forward.
The dog's safest place is either in a fixed kennel or as far forward as possible or locked in the bedroom/bathroom. Basically anywhere that contains the animal. Cats can also make a mess of you with their claws as they try to grab hold of anything as they go past.
This all falls into the same safety category of tying things down before travelling down the highway.
