Dogs in transit

Honda has developed a pet-friendly vehicle specially for dog lovers that is aimed at the US market. The utility vehicle comes complete with a well-padded dog bed in the rear, as well as a built-in water bowl and a fan to provide cooling on hot days. In addition, smaller, older or otherwise less mobile dogs benefit from a ramp that allows them to climb in more easily. The car has been developed specifically for this niche US market, which Honda believes is as yet untapped.
