Would anyone with experience with this sack be able to tell me if a 45lb. Shepherd would be able to crawl in this thing with me? Possibly snuggle against the bottom/side of my sleeping bag. Im a rather slim guy, 6'1" not really any extra baggage. If NOT possible, perhaps someone could recommend another Bivy/1 man that is as well built as this one but would accommodate my pup?

the only way a dog would fit in the NF bivy would be to lay on top of you and once zipped neither of you would be able to budge..

Like one reviewer said, there isn't room for much more than you and your sleeping gear. My recommendation is to pick up a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 tent: plenty big for you and your pup with little weight but a solid reputation.

You might not be able to fit a dog with you in a bivy. Bivys are basically tents for your sleeping bag and not much else. There MIGHT be enough room for the pup, but it'd be tight for sure. If he can curl at your feet for the night then that would greatly increase the chances of y'all fitting inside together.Seriously though, you might want to look in to a 1-man tent instead of a bivy. You'll have a lot more space and be a lot more comfortable.
