I looked at a White one before I bought the truck I have now when I decided to trade the Grand Cherokee I had. They are definitely a lot nicer than they were when I got my first one in 96. Yeah white dogs and black on black vehicles don't go well together. I just finished wiping drool off the outside of my truck and cleaning the inside also. There should be a lot of options for seat covers for your jeep that you could use for when taking Izzy with you.
The first Wrangler I had was $14,900 new in 96 and the one I looked at was $46k. I paid more for the truck but that shows how much has changed in the past 20 years with jeeps.
