But was able to steer, while the non-ABS dog had to plough straight on for fear of skidding wink

Close the thread now, it's just been summed up perfectly in the first three posts!

Any more and it'll turn into a handbags at dawn argument over the merits of traction control.

ABS can be a bit hopeless on loose surfaces, but I'm sure ABS dog would stop quicker on a wet kitchen floor!

Given we have labs, ours would be indicative of TC+AWD. They'd be dragging me into the sea.

That was a discussion on Top Gear,though they didn't discuss which animals have launch control?

Vaguely remember hearing it somewhere but don't watch top gear.

Still would like to know the answer. Horses are definitely RWD with an element of FWD, a bit like a reverse haldex.

I'm also fairly confident my cat runs a similar system.

Actually just looks to me from the picture the dog on the right was dragged while the dog on the left kind of walked until very close to the sea.
