Our dog, Santa's Little Helper, is one of the family. When we go on holiday, we like to take him with us. Are there any travel gadgets for dogs?

This is the ultimate in hound chic. It looks like a small, plastic hat box, hinged on one side. When open, it can be used as a double dog bowl.

Is that it? It's not exactly hi-tech.

No, although one half has a removable lid with a blue freezer-pack built into it to keep a meat meal fresh in the bowl for several hours - the sealed lid also keeps in the typically pungent pongs of tinned dog meat.

Santa's Little Helper also gets thirsty, you know.

A plastic water bottle tucks into the other half. The water is chilled by the same freezer pack.

He wants one. What's the deal?
