I have one. I bought it for Buzz and loved it. He wore it most of the last year of his life.
Since then I've used it on the other three dogs for various reasons. I love the construction and ease of use. The dogs all seem comfortable in it.
We sell them all the time at work and clients are very happy.

I bought a new-looking one at a thrift store for $10. Brisbane hates it, but there's a lot of things he hates and I think it will be useful as he ages. I demonstrated it to a friend by putting my foster pup in it and swinging her around. The puppy thought was great fun, which seems to indicate that it's comfortable for them to be lifted with it.

I haven't used this myself, but I'm 99% sure this is the harness I see used regularly in rescue for our one dog that has had to learn to walk due to a neurological issue and for other sick/injured dogs, after amputations and stuff.
They've been using these for a few years now and I've never heard any complaints from the humans or dogs. The volunteers that use them are all physically fit, so idk if it would be hard on someone less strong or able bodied.

The harness actually has attachment points at the back and front so it can be used with a shoulder strap for a larger dog. There are a lot of options. Most of the straps have fleece or neoprene covers, and the company will sell the two halves separately of your dog needs a large in front and a small in back, for example.
