There are a lot of boaters who cruise with dogs and who really pamper
them.

Empty nesters seem to be the worst. (If it's a bad thing, which it
probably is not).
I know of several boating couples in their 50's, 60's, and 70's who
consider their dog almost as close to heart as one of their own kids,
and maybe only a half step behind a grandkid.

If they find a market for this thing, don't be surprised if a lot of
people hook up their doggy life vests, etc.

One of the best attended seminars at the last boat show we had in town
here was "How to Cruise with Your Dog".

They sell them for swimming pool safety. When the God Babies were out for
daughters wedding this summer, I looked at them, but went for a pool alarm
instead. The kid may not be wearing the bracelet when she went outside.
Might be great for a boat.
