You spend a lot of time together, you and your pet, and you know each other well. If it has become obvious to both of you that you should be astronauts, rather than terrestrial animal and human pair, it’s time to start shopping. Your day might come at any time. Space travel is not as challenging as it once was.

Here is the gear you both need to fuel your dreams of space.

Give your pup — or any pet under 13 pounds — a view of where you are going — on Earth anyway. Keep your own hands free to deal with tickets and luggage. When you two are taking a break, en route, unzip the expandable panel and give your pet some room to move around without risking losing her. Bonus points for offering a glimpse of cuteness to the other travelers you encounter.

A simple reminder that walking the dog on another planet requires a lot more gear than it does on earth, so pack accordingly. You can’t keep the pooch cooped up on board all the time, right. But what about the light years it takes to get to the other planet? Where does he ‘go’ then? You can contemplate these — and other questions of the universe — when this print is hanging on your wall.
