Doggy bag

Pet lovers may or may not welcome an invention from Geoffrey Brook of St
Anne’s-on-Sea, Lancashire (GB 2 324 959). The inventor points out that dogs and
other animals can be a dangerous nuisance if they have the free run of a moving
car. The only safe solution, says Brook, is a sack-like covering similar to a
straitjacket. Before the journey, the dog is placed inside the sack which is
zipped up around the neck and fastened by buckles to a frame which clamps to the
seat. The dog is free to move around inside the sack, but not out of it.
