A good tent is hard to beat in strong wind and rain. Not used the Macpac Sololight but I do have 3 other Macpac tents Olympus "best in strong wind and snow but heavy" Minaret "good all round tent with just enough room for me, the dog and a pack gear inside" Micolight is ok in low wind,rain solo missions without the dog.

Dog farts and a closed tent can be a dangerous mix, especially after a bone for dinner.

On a more serious note, I have a MSR Hubba. Been meaning to get the gear-shed add-on . Be good for a dog.
