DAD PICK$$$
DJI Mini 4 Pro
My go-to flyer for trail shots of Ellie. Sub-250g, obstacle sensing, and the camera punches way above its weight.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness
Ellie's everyday harness. Padded, two clip points, and three years of trails haven't made a dent in it.

DOG PICK$
Chuckit! Ultra Ball (2-Pack)
The only ball that survives Ellie. Bounces like crazy, floats at the lake, and the launcher saves my shoulder.

ABOUT US
Adam & Ellie
I'm Adam — a former ASE Master Technician from Kansas City who likes well-made things. Ellie is my rescue dog, my co-pilot, and the real star of this website. She's also the reason half these products got bought in the first place.
We test everything the honest way: daily walks, weekend trails, car rides, and couch time. If something breaks, bores her, or lets me down, you won't find it here. If it's on this page, it earned its spot.
Proud supporters of KC Pet Project and the ASPCA — every rescue deserves an Ellie-sized second chance.
