A doggie dashboard

I just got back from the L.A. Auto Show, where I was able to talk to carmakers about what they’re doing to address the needs of dog-lovers. Honda may have been ahead of the trend a couple years ago with concept car called the WOW that actually has a dog crate built into the front center console.

My guess is that this feature wouldn’t really do Christie much good . . . . . . . . . . .

Does a ‘tiny dog shelf’ do anyone any good?

Well, those of us with tiny dogs might find it kinda’ handy!

I wrote about this “concept car” a couple of years ago, and like most “concepts” it’s just something to talk about. No, it’s not useful for anyone with a dog bigger than 15 pounds (I doubt the TAIL of Christie’s 130-pound Deerhound Rebel would fit in that shelf.)
BUT … it IS truly interesting that Honda thought about dog-lovers enough to even attempt this concept. What that says to me is that auto-makers are aware of us, and will be looking to better serve our needs.
And for that … huzzah!!!

If I had a tiny dog i think I would prefer him in the inner-srung seat, nit direct contact with the car frame and in the most dangerous part of the car for a collision (sometimes called the ‘suicide seat’)
