K9 Sport Sack

In 2010, Joseph and Jen Watson adopted Daisy, a dog found inside her kennel in a dumpster, and vowed to make her forget the trauma of being dumped in the trash.

However, Daisy developed separation anxiety, which made leaving her at home difficult. The Watsons enjoyed biking, but being a shortlegged terrier, Daisy wasn't able to run alongside them like bigger, more athletic dogs can. Daisy made her feelings of being left behind known, Joseph and Jen felt guilty for leaving, and nobody had a good time. 

They came up with a solution: a backpack (fashioned from a drawstring bag) that would hold Daisy while giving them full mobility. The crud solution proved uncomfortable and unsafe, so Jen, her sewing machine, and her insatiable creativity, attacked the problem and created the first ever K9 Sport Sack. They immediately started getting questions and comments about their forward-facing backpack dog carrier, and as they talked to fellow pet parents, they realized that many people had the same feelings and problem they did.
