If you live for any length of time where wild life exists along with  
highways  you will learn that the problem with the wild life is that they 
will become frightened and as often as not will leap unto a highway or 
suddenly try to cross in front of you.  The high pitched tone alert 
irritates them and they tend to move  away to avoid the sound.  Day time 
driving, particularly in the early morning and at dusk are the worst 
times for deer, etc. as they are often going to water in the streams 
which so often run along the road way routes thru the mountains.  After 
dark they are actually easier to see as they stand out in the head lights 
and their eyes shine/reflect headlights.  During the day they often blend 
into the tall grasses and dirt in road side ditches and are diffcult to 
see until you are right on them.  If I had dogs I would get a pair of 
these devices and try them out.  Dogs riding in the open bed of a PU 
might experience more sound them those inside a nicely uphostered SUV or 
other well insulated vehicle.
