In big cities like the big apple, if you're taking public transit, hailing a cab, or trying to sneak bring a doggie into a shop, you're often only allowed if your pet fits in a carrier. But, I remember from one of our first PetMarking missions, there are plenty of cute cases [1] out there for people to choose and use! I don't agree with dog-as-accessory, and I think putting a pup in your purse – a bag not sold specifically for pet purposes – can hurt both the doggie and the bag. Now, Todd Oldham's certainly a busy man – being the new creative director of Old Navy causes him to jet between NYC and SF [2] and sometimes, I'd imagine, he just grabs the first bag laying around before running errands. While there's nothing wrong with his classic L.L. Bean Boat and Tote [3], but I'd love for him to express that preppiness [4] with a petspecific version instead. If you want to see which carrier I have in mind, then .

First off, Todd's doggy does not look comfy in that bag – it's meant for groceries and magazines, and the little one can barely see out despite obvious neck straining. This sturdy Wagwear Boat Canvas Carrier [5] includes a crucial leash attachment and buckle closure (for the squirmers) and a handy peek-ready slot to give doggies a good view. It comes in a rainbow of color combos [6] and two sizes for around $100.
