The Nissan Rogue Dogue is a new specialty SUV that the Japanese automaker recently unleashed at the New York International Auto Show. The vehicle is specifically designed to be as dog-friendly as possible, with several different features that cater to consumers' canines.
Designed by Dennis McCarthy, the car coordinator for the Fast & Furious film franchise, the car is loaded with dog accessories. It has a firmly secured, removable dog bed in the trunk, two built-in, non-spill water and food dispensers, a slide-away dog ramp for elderly or small dogs that can't make it into the trunk on their own, and even a built-in 360 dog shower with a 10 gallon pressurized water reserve. The Rogue Dogue SUV also includes secure harness to keep dogs safe while the car is in motion.
