Abstract: An assembly of shaped components of firm but compressible materials that create an elevated platform within the passenger areas of a vehicle that provides a dog or dogs with enhanced comfort, safety and external views through the vehicle's windows from the down resting position. The assembly generally includes a horizontally placed component that delivers a level elevated surface and two or more vertical components placed in the leg-room area that support the horizontal component. The components are attached and detached in various combinations for quick placement, removal, storage and portability.

Abstract: The invention is a system of components that when assembled within a vehicle creates an elevated, stable and comfortable riding platform for dogs (6) (7). The invention achieves this uniquely by substantially filling existing volumes of space in the vehicle with components made of compressible yet structurally firm material such that a large elevated platform emerges that is bound by three existing surfaces in the vehicle and that moves in lock step with the vehicle's motion. The invention assembles and disassembles quickly and has no attachment points to any part of the vehicle interior. Dogs can assume the natural down resting position and experience safety, comfort and a visual experience usually only available to human passengers along with greatly reduced anxiety and fewer incidents of motion sickness.
