We got it from Amazon, it's this model and a medium is a good fit for Monte (he weighs 25 kg or 55 lbs.)

It's held up pretty well.
Well, the hammock, insulation, tarp etc are all a part of a system my girl made. I will leave it up to her to talk about those details. There are some details in with the images.
We are ultra-light, so we don't bring much with us. The heaviest we'll go is about 38lbs for 5 nights.
We used a penny stove for the longest time, but for just a few extra grams, the Titanium Sol Jetboil is very light, more convenient and faster. Less fuel is wasted, so overall it might be lighter.
The dog carries his own bed and food with a Mountainsmith dog pack.
We use an in-line mechanical water filter, pulled from a Sawyer water bottle that we added to our Platypus (superior to Camelback IMO). The hose has a quickconnect, so we can dunk the platy in the water then reconnect the hose without worrying about contamination.
We have a variety of backpacks, mostly GoLite, and we generally select them based on the size of the trip. I haven't found a backpack that is uniquely noteworthy.
We generally choose food for calorie density. Creamed coconut is nutritional and significantly more calorie-dense than.. well, everything. We also bring a lot of powders, thick indian curry sauces, high-calorie instant noodles, mayonnaise packets, tuna packets, thin rice noodles, dates, olive oil, candies. But we would never bring something as low calorie as bacon.
We also collect and eat various wild foods, including morel mushrooms, wood sorrel, indian cucumber-root, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, wintergreen berries and other mints (and leaves for tea), Jewelweed/touch-me-nots (seeds taste like walnuts, young stalks taste like green beans, flowers are sweet), cattail, arrowroot, dandelion, wild ramps (delicious when fried and added to instant noodles).
Edit: More links to gear.
OP hasn't answered but I have this one in medium and it's perfect for my 40lb pit. It doesn't slide and she loves wearing it. Amazon has a bunch of options, too, if this isn't what you're looking for.
