Since I am a well-traveled dog, it is my intent to provide you with some handy travel tips so you can bring your dog with you on long trips.

We had a couple weird situations come up on our cross country trip, so this will be an opportunity for you to learn from our mistakes.

The original intent of our road trip was for baddog (my pack leader) to take his girlfriend [Tanya] back to Indiana, then him and I would drive home together. We decided we would stay a few days in Indiana. Our first night there I was out in the front yard when a very loud firework went off. I had never heard anything like that and ran like the wind. I did not know where I was or where I was going, but I was getting there fast.

Indiana is not like home. At night time it is dark, really dark. Within minutes, I was lost and had no idea where I was or where I should be.
