A dog owner who believes all dogs in moving vehicles should be restrained is applauding new animal welfare regulations coming into force soon.

From next month, the regulations can mean fines for dog owners who don't have their pooches restrained on moving vehicles. Dogs on the back of a truck, trailer or ute, travelling on a public road, had to be tied up with a leash or rope, if not in a cage or crate.

Those caught breaking that law could be fined up to $900 under new Animal Welfare Regulations from next month. Read more from Stuff here
