Discontinued , the Burly worker owned CoOp had them, was an alternative hitch QR skewer.
the elastomer connecting fork rotated up & down on that axis. [my bike sliding dropout to tension IGH Chain]
Now that connection is fixed, but the hitch piece is simpler.
A lighter thing is the extrawheel. it tows directly behind you, and uses a second front wheel like your bike.
and you put your rear panniers on it, Instead of or in addition to your rear rack set.
BoB trailer is popular , dry duffle bag + bring a spare 16" tube since its a different wheel .. more to it so it weigh more.
But for gear not Fido.
Burly now has a dog trailer, smaller than the kid trailer so less wind resistance and maybe weighs less..
[have a Chariot hitch on the trailer I hook up to my brompton, the Ball end Elastomer lets the Rear Fold, still work..
as a kickstand.]
