Nice to know it's not difficult. I'm taking care of my parent's dog (golden retriever) now since we don't really know the best way to get him from Northern Europe to Southern Africa (he's probably too old to handle flying in the dog compartment without my parents there to calm him down), maybe I can now suggest that my dad drives the entire way

Traveling with a dog reminded me of Travels with Charley, one of the best travel books ever written.
