Dogs fail 'dummy' crash test

Research conducted with State Insurance revealed two out of 25 popular dog harnesses safely restrain pets in collisions; but only one is available to pre-order in New Zealand. State tested a range of dog harnesses at its Research Centre and found 23 out of 25 failed to adequately restrain life-sized and correctly-weighted dog dummies in simulated impacts.
