I was inspired to write this article based on an image that I had come across, it was a kitchen island that had integrated doggy dishes. I thought what a fantastic idea I am always tripping over my dogs water & food dish. I thought it might be interesting to see what other people are designing for their furry friends and what extent people will go to accommodate them. I think some people may find these design solutions ridiculous and other pet owner will embrace them as must haves for their dogs
