Golden Retriever & Subaru Outback

Golden Retrievers are the ultimate adventurers of the dog world. Most love both family road trips and outdoor escapades. The Subaru Outback is a perfect match, offering plenty of space for them to stretch out and a ride smooth enough to nap through. Its off-road capabilities mean you can take your Golden on any trail.

Chihuahuas might be small, but their personalities are mighty. The Fiat 500 is the ideal car for these little guys, reflecting not only their spunky character but also fitting into the tiniest parking spots, just like a Chihuahua fits into a purse or lap.
