"Saving lives one truck at a time"

The idea behind the K9truckNET was for my dogs to safely ride in the bed of my pickup truck, easy to install & remove, meet local and state legal requirements, easily to store, and easy to load the dogs or anything else in the bed of the truck.
As a lifelong Dog Lover, I was shocked at all the stories, and photos of dogs getting injured from coming out of the bed of the truck. I had no idea at the time that 100,000 dogs die every year, and thousands are injured and euthanized each year.
I continued to do research and what I found for today's solutions were very limited, not easy to use, not safe for multiple dogs, and didn't allow the dog(s) to "enjoy" the ride. Some of today's solutions and the reasons I didn't choose it.
