I never took a dog flying, but I did take my dog from South Fla to Mass
on a motorcycle. I made a platform that attached to the gas tank. She
would sit or stand most of the way and would lay down and sleep some of the


way. I made her a terry cloth lined rain suit and goggles.



I hope you have a photo somewhere of your dog with her biker goggles and
raincoat on that motorcycle platform . . .

I'd love to see that.

I wish that I did. The only photo I had was with my first wife on the
back. After I got my second wife, the picture dissappeared.

I had two platforms. The "city" platform was a plastic dish pan that
was the width of the gas tank. She was limited to the sitting position
with that arrangement. The "travel" platform was a lot wider and was
raised up slightly so that my thighs would fit under it.

If I was going to go someplace without her, I had make sure she was
inside before I left. If not, she would come running and make a grand
leap for the gas tank.

Now back to the topic of this thread. If my dog wore that garb, I would
imagine that you could make a leather or vinyl helmut that would cover
your dogs ears. Just the vinyl and the dogs own ear flaps being held
down would add a lot of attenuation. The addition of high density foam
would add to the attenuation.
