The invention is a system of components that when assembled within a vehicle creates an elevated, stable and comfortable riding platform for dogs (6) (7). The invention achieves this uniquely by substantially filling existing volumes of space in the vehicle with components made of compressible yet structurally firm material such that a large elevated platform emerges that is bound by three existing surfaces in the vehicle and that moves in lock step with the vehicles motion. The invention assembles and disassembles quickly and has no attachment points to any part of the vehicle interior. Dogs can assume the natural down resting position and experience safety, comfort and a visual experience usually only available to human passengers along with greatly reduced anxiety and fewer incidents of motion sickness.
