Princess has inherited our late dog "Happy's" saddlebag-pack. She loves to trot along carrying her own water bottles. Cesar Milan, the National Geographic Channel's "Dog Whisperer," says that asking a dog to carry a backpack adds an extra "job" and helps the dog use its energy constructively. Main advantage, other hikers on the trail say "Oh how cute!" and "Good Boy!" as Princess trots by. What they're really thinking, probably, is "look at that cruel, lazy man--he's making the dog carry the entire load!" Happy-dog was a foot taller than Princess--maybe we'll have to get her a smaller size pack so the bags don't touch the ground as she walks!
