My 95-pound German Shepherd, Max, tore his ACL last spring. Suddenly our four-miles-a-day walks stopped, and I was stuck lifting him in and out of my Honda Civic for every vet visit.

I learned the hard way that a standard 30-inch baby gate is no match for a 90-pound Lab who wants into the kitchen.
