Default Dog and cargo transport in 991 GT3

Thanks for any input you can provide. I've seen a few threads on this topic but nothing recently and no definitive answers as yet. I am soon to be the new owner of a 991.2 GT3 which I plan to use as my daily most of the time. I'm interested if there is anything out there either as a product or as a design to build up the space with the backseat delete to allow more practical transport of a large dog. Yes I know. Nobody would put a large dog in their GT3, etc. This will not be a frequent event. My other pride and joy is a beautiful great pyrenees who weighs about 100 lbs. She goes to daycare a couple days a week to hang out with other dogs and get some more substantial exercise. On rare occasions if my wife is unavailable, I may need to collect her and drive her a few miles home. Obviously protecting the back area is important as is her safety for the short drive. For reasons that probably make sense, I haven't seen anything purpose built to build up the back area for either dog or cargo transport. I had envisioned something like a set of cushions to level out the area with a cushioned platform that would potentially be light in weight and removable. I may build something myself if there are no options but hoping someone else has considered this possibility before. Any sage advice?

Best,

R

I hope your new Gt3 has sofas and not the fixed carbon seats, I can barely get my jacket out of the back with the buckets

Oh, and to level out area. One back pack each rear (delete) seat, stuffed with towels, to level out transmission tunnel.

Rock climbing gear tied into parcel shelf attachment points (helpfully left in GT3) to harness on dog, helps with safety, and braking.

Orvis sell some foam wedges that you can put in the footwells behind the seats to "level out" the rear area and then perhaps use something to pad where the seats would be ...
