Uber is now trialling 'Uber Pet', which allows people to ride with their pet. With 4 in every 10 Australian households owning a dog, it's a service many of us will be interested in.

However, this raises questions on how the laws surrounding dogs in cars would apply.

Law grads Jacqueline White and Monique Messenger discuss:

- The NSW legislation governing the rules and regulations of restraining dogs in cars

- Penalties faced, including potential fines and imprisonment

- Who might be liable if legislation is breached when 'Riding with pets': the owner, driver, or the corporation Uber itself?
