Straight from the Security and Safety Trade Expo in Tokyo is this emergency outfit for dogs. Designed to be either for a dog or cat, the coat includes pockets that contain emergency goods and food.
Why food? You would think that there would be plenty of fresh meat lying around for the enterprising dog or cat to eat following an earthquake or other disaster. . .
Price 28,000 to 50,000 yen

Yes. Hell is where I’m headin’. I know that.
