Ruth, of Greystones, came up with the idea when she had to take her Welsh Terrier, Bronwyn, into work on Christmas Eve in order and wanted to make a quick getaway for Christmas.
Ruth said: “I couldn’t believe a similar product didn’t already exist. Bronwyn loves it too.”
She added: “It would be fantastic to have the opportunity to pitch and get support from the Virgin Media Business team.”
