Cobra Noise Ear Protection For Dogs

[Carroll DeWeese]

750hp,

My wife loves the picture. It looks like you actually have a Coton (pasted?) on the hood of a non-Australian Cobra (left-hand drive). Could you email it as an attachment to me (carrolldeweese@comcast.net) so that I can print it? My wife wants to hang it up.

I told my wife that my question about protecting the hearing of a dog when in or on a Cobra is getting pointed comments from around the world. She said that I asked for it.

It is clear from the comments that dogs and Cobras should not normally mix. It is also clear that hearing protection is something that is important to drivers and passengers of all kinds in a Cobra. If anyone has serious (or even other non-serious) ideas of how to protect a dog's hearing, I welcome it.

I am sensitive in part because I do not hear sounds above 3000 MHz much at all. For myself, I do not want to lose any more hearing than necessary. I assume that many Cobra drivers and passengers do not hear high-pitched sounds very well. Most are older by the time they can realize their dream of having a Cobra. Part of what I like about the sound of a Cobra and I assume that others like is the feel of the sound, but I do not need more ear damage for myself and those (counting dogs) around me.

Also, I am assuming that most Cobra owners have a streak of being non-conventional. After all, a Cobra is not exactly conventional. Occcasionally having a dog as a passenger is clearly not conventional either. It is not entirely a radical notion, although some of you seems to think that it is.
