I love researching new inventions and products. There are great new strollers, carriers, indoor treadmills, jewlery, clothes... all for dogs. Back in the day, you were lucky to get a leash and bowl.
Just look at this early dog tote for your car. This is a real advertisement from an old-fashioned newspaper. I guess there are just some people that don't want their pets in the car with them, (I'm glad thats not Linda or Tierney) and this must have been a way for them to travel with their dog. On the other hand, I much prefer the car seat that the second dog is using. That is definitely more my style.
