| "Volvo
believes this campaign to educate and inform consumers as to what can
happen to pets after an accident will save lives," states Doug
Speck, President & CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. "This
secondary, after the accident, issue makes perfect sense. We all
understand the obvious logic unrestrained pets pose but we just never
think about what can happen after an accident." Our relationship is
one of helping Bark Buckle UP get their message to people. "Volvo
Builds Safety and Bark Buckle UP is Safety" said Christina Selter, Founder & Pet Travel Safety Expert, Bark Buckle UP. |

Bark Buckle UP's mission is to save pets lives by promoting responsible pet travel safety, according to co-founder Christina Selter Pet Travel Safety Expert. "The most critical component for responsible travel with a pet is to properly secure your pet,"says Selter. "In an accident, an unbuckled pet can become a projectile, risking serious injury to your pet, the driver, passengers and to emergency crews. Thousands of pets die each year in traffic accidents because they were not restrained, just like Click it or Ticket safety belts save lives. |
