Quilters Sew-in and pot luck dinner By sue Manning The Associated Press To make the world safer for pets, Lindsey Wolko had to design an indestructible dog. Two years and hundreds of thousands of dollars later, her nonprofit Center for Pet Safety in Reston, Va., has a set of crash-test dog dum - mies that were battered, throttled and sent flying to test several car safety re- straints. The rare study of travel products marketed to an- imal owners was released earlier this month and will be followed by tests of car crates, carriers and barri - ers. Lifejackets are on the short list of products to be tested as soon as funding is found. Inspiration for the center and its inaugural test came nearly a decade ago. Wolko's dog, Maggie, was seriously injured when Wolko braked to avoid a traffic collision. Despite a restraint, the English cocker spaniel smashed into the back of the driv - er's seat, spraining her spine and hip and getting her back legs tangled in the harness. Once Maggie recovered, Wolko decided to sell dog products on her for-profit website, caninecommuter. com. She sold only prod - ucts her dogs responded to positively. Often, however, she found the safety equipment, toys and cleaning products were mostly untested and either failed to work as promised or fell apart. "Because of the lack of oversight and the lack of testing in the industry — it is quite the 'Wild West' out there — you are con - sistently putting consum- ers and their dogs at risk," Wolko said. Just as the popularity of pet products boomed, Wolko split with sales. She got her nonprofit creden - tials, officially opened the safety center in July 2011, met with engineers and started building a boxer dummy. The 55-pound boxer is an - atomically correct, stuffed with computer equipment and has the same center of gravity as the real animal. The model was used in the pilot project reviewing four products. MGA Resource Corp., an independent lab in Manas - sas, Va., conducted all the crash tests using Wolko's dog dummies. When the pilot results were released, Subaru of America Inc. signed on to fund the rest of the study. The final tests included a 75-pound golden retriever, 45-pound border collie and a 25-pound terrier mix. The Sleepypod Clickit Utility Harness was the only one out of seven that protected all the dummies in 30 mph crashes. "This was the only brand that consistently kept the dog on the seat for every test. It prevented the launch of the dogs and prevented side-to-side and fore-and- aft rotation of the dog and helped keep the spine fairly stable," Wolko said. The rest had hardware problems, construction is - sues, connection point fail- ures, the stitching broke or there was catastrophic fail- ure and the dog flew off the seat or out of the harness, she said. Representatives from all the product manufacturers were invited to attend the testing, and four showed up, she said. Consumer Reports mag - azine published the center's results. It's not surprising that attention is being focused on safety because a huge number of ca r buyers want to drive with their pets, said Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst with Ed - munds.com. "A pet that isn't har- nessed in a car is really dangerous. That animal propels through a car like a missile." Suba r u, which ma r - kets its cars to pet owners, plans to feature the winning safety harness in a newslet- ter that goes out to 5 mil- lion people and to offer it for sale in its gear catalog, said Michael McHale, director of communications for the car company. Wolko is an associate member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, with a bachelor's degree from George Mason University. She is CEO and heads the product research division of the center, which contracts with a few part-time consul - tants but otherwise is run by volunteers. saFety Indestructible dogs Manufactured pets suffer so your dog doesn't have to PLEASE JOIN DISTRICT ATTORNEY GREGG COHEN FOR COFFEE Wed, March 19, 10am-11:30am HOUSE OF BREWS 615 4th St. Corning Thurs, March 20 10am-11:30am MILL CREEK RESTAURANT Hwy 99E, Los Molinos Paid political advertisement 2 Bud's BBQ 22825 Antelope Blvd. Red Bluff We seat 40 people inside M-F 11am-6pm Sat. 11am-3pm Closed Sunday (530) 528-0799 CATER COMPANY MEETINGS BBQ PORK ★ BEEF ★ CHICKEN 530 566 1966 Ask about cushy country boarding Free 10 minute phone chat.
