Double seat belt receiver or adapter
Kingcreek:
A well known local farmer with a lot of farm ground scattered around always had a cattle dog with him. The dog would ride with his back legs on the truck tool box and his front legs on the roof or often on the hood. A county deputy finally stopped him and chewed him out. Now the dog rides in the cab with his head out the window.

Having seen dogs come out of truck beds on a turn, mine never ride loose back there. We've used a seat belt adapter harness for Rocket from time to time. He took to it pretty well on our cross-country trip when we moved here (NC) from Oregon in early 2014.

Makes sense. I would go to a junkyard and get an extra female seatbelt for your make of vehicle, and just bolt it in in tandem with the front passenger belt. You shouldn't even need a new bolt. I'm pretty certain that rear seats, which have the center belts sharing the same bolts as the inner sides of the outboard belts, don't take a longer bolt. There's enough crush space in the carpeting to make it possible.
Technically, I believe it's illegal to install used seatbelts, and some yards may not sell them. Since you only want it for a dog, and you wouldn't be installing the matching male end for a human passenger, they might make an exception.
