if you don;t have a dog now, beware that the inside of that truck is small for 2 people, let alone one driver and a large dog..
take along those pet "accident pads", to keep the truck clean when you cannot stop to let the dog out.
i never took any animal with me, other than a stupid co-driver, om occasion, and they were able to walk themselves......most times.Wargames, Nothereoften, tommymonza and 2 others Thank this. -
lol Thanks, Buddy. My dog will be probably under 20 lbs. Good call on the accident pads, 'preciate it.

I’d consider smaller breeds that shed very little if at all. But that’s just me.
A bigger dog is eventually going to develop joint and strength problems in their senior years [if not sooner] requiring you assist them in and out. A small dog may not be able to jump that far but they are easy to handle and lift from day one ... kinda like a petite woman.Rideandrepair and Robert Eroica Dupea Thank this. -
Look for a company that allows pets.

A year or so ago, I was thinking about doing some laundry at a truck stop. Doing recon, I observed a guy with a blanket that could easily have had enough black dog hair to fill a paper sack-lunch bag. I didn't do laundry that day.
Nothereoften, Robert Eroica Dupea and tommymonza Thank this.
