A dog has been seriously, possibly fatally injured by an airbag because he was sitting in his owners lap. It was a minor accident and no human was injured. The force of the airbag however caused internal injuries in the little dog.

It is important to be aware of this danger. We already know that airbags are a danger to small children. A small dog would not be able to stand the force of an airbag deploying. I know it seems easier or more fun to ride with the dog in your lap, but it could be fatal. It is just not worth the risk.
If I am transporting a reptile or guinea pig, I always sit in the back seat. We can't be too careful with our loved ones.
