This thing is great! My Jack Russell fits in there very comfortably. Having this as our daypack means we can have all of our usual hiking necessities with us, but I also have room for her when she gets tired. This is a great value and has enormous space for camel packs, water bottles, laptops, gps equipment, survival tools, and even the dog! I'm so happy I got this!
