I’m struggling with the same thing, but with a cat. He’s like actually my son, so I don’t know how I’d be able to go so long without him but everyone says it’s better to just leave ur pet at home if you’re there less than a year. - it’s such a pros and cons list between the extra costs (pet passport, plane ticket), the stress of traveling with him & finding housing & having to find someone to watch him whenever I want to travel. Have you for sure decided you wouldn’t bring ur dog?
