Inherently adventurous dogs love automobile rides as a break from their everyday routine. They never know where they'll land.
Dogs enjoy car rides because they meet new people and animals.
Many dogs equate car journeys with great memories like park or beach outings. The anticipation of arriving makes them happy.
Cars give dogs independence and movement they may not get at home. They can move around freely and see the world differently.
Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and car rides introduce them to new scents from outside the car, which can be interesting and fun.
