I use a phanny pack and a backpack, but I am a student so can get away with
using a back pack. I saw a guide dog user  have a leather backpack once.
Sorry that probably was't helpful. Have you throught about getting a poncho
type thing for your dog so maybe your pants won't get wet. There's my
probably not useful ideas.
