If you&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/honda\/\">Honda<\/a>, you go to the dogs. Literally. After unveiling it as a &#8220;concept&#8221; at the 2009 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/New-York-Auto-Show\/\">New York Auto Show<\/a>, the Dog Friendly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/element\">Honda Element<\/a> accessory package has made the transition to production. The theory is that if you&#8217;re a dog lover, you might consider buying an Element geared specifically toward those needs.<\/p>\n<p>The Big H has plenty of experience in this department. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/16\/honda-takes-this-whole-dog-thing-very-seriously\/\">As we showed you earlier today<\/a>, in Japan there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honda.co.jp\/dog\/\">dedicated Honda Dog website<\/a> (it&#8217;s incredible, really) loaded with info about transporting pups in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honda.co.jp\/dog\/honda-car\/\">basically every JDM Honda offering<\/a>. Naturally, there are &#8220;Travel Dog&#8221; accessories that drivers can purchase for each car as well. In fact, in Japan, there&#8217;s also a dedicated model, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2007\/02\/01\/japan-honda-vamos-intros-special-package-for-mans-best-amigo\/\">Vamos Travel Dog<\/a>, which is specifically outfitted with dog owners in mind &#8211; much like the Stateside-market Elements kitted out with the new Dog Friendly gear. As luck would have it, I have two dogs. Hence, I, and they, will be your humble 2010 Honda Element (Dog Friendly!) evaluators.
