No it is not legal..
It took some finding but here is an excerpt of the link I will add to this:
California, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon, Washington, Florida, Rhode Island, and Hawaii have all passed laws restricting the transportation of dogs in the back of a pickup. Other states have bills pending.

First of all I have seen some horrendous dog injuries because of a owner doing this.
Yes I lived in California and had my dogs in the back of my truck three to be exact.. they had seats back there, harnesses that kept them in, goggles and socks for their feet and if it was really cold Jackets too on..
Yah they were a sight but I loved them and when I stopped they got unharnessed and the gear off and they were leashed up to the truck and there was a wood frame around my truck so they could not jump out and hang themselves but still enjoy the windy ride :)
So DON'T do it too many bad things can and will happen to your dog.
If you don't feel you can have him in the cab with you for whatever reasons then don't take the doggie.. simple!
