Harness for carrying containers

Abstract

A light weight, adjustable dog harness enabling a dog to carry at least one container is provided. A vertically disposed, adjustable trunk strap tightly encircles a trunk of the dog. A buckle is included at the ends of the adjustable trunk strap at a point below the belly of the dog such that the strap tightness may be adjusted to accommodate dogs of differing size. A U-shaped, horizontally disposed chest strap encircles the chest area of the dog and is fastened at both ends to the adjustable trunk strap on each side of the dog. A U-shaped vertically disposed, fixed shoulder trunk strap encircles the upper back area of the dog, is located forward of the adjustable trunk strap, and is fastened to the chest strap on each side of the dog. A horizontally disposed back strap is fastened to the adjustable circular trunk strap at one end and to the fixed U-shaped shoulder trunk strap at the other end along the center of the dog's back. The back strap has a ring attached thereto for connection of a leash, or the like. Each strap may be manufactured from a reflective, luminescent, or brightly-colored material. A plurality of container supports, each container support fastened to a trunk strap, is further included. Each supports includes a pair of horizontally disposed ring-shaped straps, aligned with vertical separation, and a U-shaped strap interconnecting the ring-shaped straps, for supporting a container therein. Each support may further include a cylindrical cup, capable of holding a beverage container within, made of a thermal insulating material.
