When I first read about a dog that broke his leg and was left to die because his owner was unable to carry him off the mountain, I couldn’t stop wondering what I would do in that situation. One thing I knew for certain is that I would never leave my dog behind. But, how could I bring her down? Over the next few years and thousands of miles of hiking and trail running, I came up with the Pack-a-Paw rescue harness.
As a hiker and trail runner, I knew I’d need a harness that would be both lightweight and strong. One that would fit easily in the bottom of my pack with my other emergency gear, or even in my pocket. It would have to weigh only a few ounces, but also be strong enough to carry a large dog down the mountain or trail to safety if she became injured. A harness I could always have with me when I went adventuring with my dog.
The Pack-a-Paw rescue harness was designed in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Made from exceptionally strong but lightweight material, the Pack-a-Paw harness easily wraps around a dog and cradles it, becoming a backpack that securely holds your dog onto your back. The shoulder straps connect to the body of the harness, so your hands remain free. The straps can also be handheld for quickly lifting your dog in and out of a vehicle, or even for walking up and down stairs or along a trail.
The harness is reversible, so you can carry your dog on the front or the back, keeping your hands free and the weight on your shoulders. Pack-a-Paw was designed to withstand intense use in emergency situations.
There are few things I love more than hiking and being with my dog. The peace of mind I have knowing that I’m prepared for any situation while adventuring with my dog is a great feeling. Get in touch with us, and add the Pack-a-Paw rescue harness to your hiking kit today.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, strong enough to carry a mountain dog!
