The idea comes with a proposal for a"certification program"which would allow dogs to travel on public transport as long as they had been given a"good boy"tick of approval for behaviour and socialisation standards.
Pooches are allowed on public transport in cities across the world,including Paris,Washington and New York.
RSPCA Queensland spokeswoman Alex Hyndman Hill said changing the law would benefit dogs,pet owners and the wider community.

"The RSPCA Queensland receives over 1000 distress calls each year about animals being left in hot cars,"she said.
"If owners had alternative methods of transporting their pets,such as being able to take them on the bus or ferry,we would hope to see a reduction in this number.
"From an economic perspective,allowing pets on public transport would encourage people to take their furry friends out and about more often,which brings more business to the local community."
