I don't think it's unusual that some dogs enjoy riding in cars. I've used
that method myself a couple times to catch a stray. Ride along and open my
car door so the dog can get in. In our old neighborhood we had a stray chow
that had been running around the neighborhood, dirty and ragged looking, for
over a week. We'd tried to catch him, entice him, corral him. Nothing
worked until the 'ride in car' method. That's when I was finally able to
catch him, read his dog tags and call his owner, about two miles away. Poor
fella was simply lost.
As for your dog, as long as you don't allow it to run free, you shouldn't
have any problem with either being hit by a car, or being taken by a
stranger.
