For the dog on the go
First doggie travel crates, then seatbelts, car seats and goggles.
And now, helmets. Or maybe that should be helmutts?
Hunter K9 Gear offers the head caps for daredevil dogs who need protection from wind, windblown objects and other irritants when riding on bikes or motorcycles, in a car, truck or boat.
Pretty spiffy. But I think smaller dogs can carry this look off best. A Rottweiller or German shepherd wearing one of these? I don't think that look would work. Just my opinion. But Sydney, right, looks pretty good in his, I think.
(And perhaps Rocket could use one of these for his next cliff-climbing/slipping and sliding adventure?)
The protective head gear comes in 4 sizes, from X-Small to Large. They're lined with foam padding, have plenty of room for dog ears of all shapes and sizes, and they come with a chin strap to ensure a good fit -- $26.95 each.
Oh, and colors: The helmets come in "Bone" White, "Wet Nose" Black and "Panting" Pink.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
