Cars & Animals

Bobby Grammatis • November 6, 2024

As our very first blog post we were not sure what to write about. We sat and brain stormed, and we still were not sure. That is, until we saw a video about our two favourite things, cars and animals.


Nissan released a video of a concept SUV that they have come up with that really focuses on the heart of many families, our four legged friends.


This concept SUV has everything a dog owner could wish for. Starting with a dog wash for those muddy days at the park, a blow dryer for after their shower, a ramp to help them into their comfortably padded seating area, a two way camera so they can see you and you can see them (our favourite feature), a treat dispenser (their favourite feature) and many more amazing dog friendly elements.


Unfortunately, this amazing dog focused SUV isn’t in production yet. Maybe one day Nissan will realize how many dog loving families are out there and bring this SUV to life. Until then, discussing other car related topics can help pass the time until hopeful production begins!!
