Wonder if anyone can shed light on this. My parents used to have a massive German Shepherd who wasn't scared of much (apart from black bin bags - weird hound). One day they took him out for a trip in the car and, as my dad was driving over some empty moorland, the dog suddenly went mental, acting as if he was really terrified and tried to hide under my dad's legs as he was driving (my dad, not the dog!). The dog had previously been sitting on the floor in the passenger footwell, squashing my mum's feet. They'd never seen him act like this before and there was nothing obvious that could have terrified him to the point of shaking and whimpering - no black bin bags in the vicinity, anyway. Any ideas? Some sort of sound that only dogs could hear? My mum secretly whispering "the bin bags are going to get you" into his ear??
