I spotted this photo on Get Outdoors...

It's a Japanese dog emergency kit. It includes a shoulder bag, tent, mat, leash, wet wipes, tissue, water purifier, emergency water, water bottle, flashlight, batteries, poop bags, food bowl, and first aid kit. It sells for 25,515 Yen or $214.

Of course, if you don't live in Japan, don't worry, there are pet emergency kits available domestically, like The DogGoneIt Kit for Dogs. Although it lacks the nifty tent found in the Japanese kit, it does contain a few unique items like blankets, chew sticks, a tennis ball, and a can opener. It's also much cheaper, only $63.

My first reaction to the photo was to laugh hysterically while shaking my head in disbelief. I kept thinking, "That dog is better prepared than most people are."

My second reaction was to get the latest edition of the emergency supply checklist because I have no intention on being less prepared for an emergency than a dog. By the way, the site includes a page about pets and provides a checklist (just in case you were wondering what to have on hand for your own pet if a disaster strikes).

After I did that, I promptly resumed laughing.

Happy Ride the Fire Eagle Danger Day the 13th!
