I agree! My dog carries his own food and water. That's what doggie packs are for. Here are a couple of good ones:
Kelty Chuckwagon My dog has the older version of this.
RuffWear Palisades II

I have a Six Moon Designs Comet, and by tightening the compression straps completely it scrunches down for a daypack just fine. Looks a little weird, but it works.
