Okay, so it might not really impart a +3 awesomeness to your tripawd, but your tripawd will be the 3rd to use it and that counts for a lot. It's Flame Red and size Large. (This is not the newer harness that RuffWear introduced several months ago, but it's a fine piece of gear.)
The first tripawd to use this harness was Indi, a female St. Bernard mix (heavy on the saint). The next was my Dakota, pictured below in the harness.
There is a lot of love packed into this harness, along with a lot of dog hair that will come to you free of charge. I never removed any of Indi's hair because I wanted her spirit to live in the harness and inspire Dakota. So you'll get the hair of two dogs.
Send me a PM if you can use this harness.

Now that is one magical harness. Thanks Shari, you are so kind. I know there's a Tripawd out there who will get a lot of help from Dakota and Indi's fur.

I love that we find the courage to pass them on to some other deserving tripawd. ((Hugs)) to you Shari. I know how hard it is to do.

I don't know that Dakota would be proud, but I know he'd be grateful seeing it go into a box and out the door! He associated the harness with an impending car ride, one of his most dreaded events. So at least I know I'd be making him very happy just sending it away!

What a generous gesture.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
