I might’ve reviewed on the wrong website.. BUT i love love love this backpack, im going to be using it for my senior year. I am just so excited to be able to use my dream backpack!! thank u!!
Really dig the design with all the colors. The material is solid yet comfortable for the dog. The plastic buckle seems sturdy. Jubilee would give it two thumbs up if she had thumbs… A high paw instead.
