The backyard dog is fast becoming a thing of the past. Decades ago, it was common for dogs to live their entire lives outside in suburban and urban yards. But as our knowledge of canines has evolved, we've learned that staying outside 24/7 can be hazardous for a dog's health.ecades ago, it was common for dogs to live their entire lives outside in suburban and urban yards.

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) typically places the engine in the front of the vehicle and the driven wheels are located at the rear, a configuration known as front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout (FR layout). The front mid-engine, rear mid-engine and rear engine layouts are also used.
The advantages of rear drive wheels are mainly realized in the car's handling and the ability to tow heavier trailers. Though traction control and stability control help keep the car moving and prevent fishtailing, respectively, rear-wheel drive is still the worst choice on snowy roads. What makes the car handle well in most cases â having its weight balanced over the front and rear wheels â doesn't provide optimal traction in snow.
