This is one of those ideas that you look at and say, “now why didn’t I think of that? I could be rich!”
According to DogSpot.com, they even come with a webcam so you can keep an eye on your dog while you shop. Why not ask your favorite retailers to get these outside their shops?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
