    my entire personality is based off of having a dog :D . In all seriousness, this is the main reason I got the runner. Lots of Dog adventures. My wife and I have taken on camping, roadtripping, and love having an SUV. We got tired of renting vehicles for our roadtrips because we drive older vehicles.

    Kennel is really the way to go.
    Dog's don't need as much comfort as we think.
    Rather they be safe.
    And you can't cheap out and put a flimsy plastic crate back there that is impossible to tie down and would disintegrate in an accident.
    #Gunner Kennels = expensive and worth it.

    The Ruffland Kennel that CalcityRenegade posted is also an excellent choice.

    The small one is for a 15lb mix dog and the big one is for a 73lb Malinois.

    I protect the bumper with a rubber mat from Home Depot that rolls up nicely.
    And I use a Weather Tech dog ramp.
