    You will need more than just a vacuum. It has been a lot of years since I was week enough to let a driver take his dog on the road with him. It was a 359, and when the driver moved on, I had to strip the interior, strip the hvac and clean hair out of the cores. I was still getting hair out of that truck when it went down the road. I know a lot of drivers keeps a dog with them, I love dogs, but I don't want them in a truck.
    That said, a good friend of mine will go outside most winters for a couple of weeks. Sometimes I keep his dog for him and he rides in my log truck. The dog loves to run, so I let him out on the log road about 5 miles before I get to the landing and let him run 5 miles or so on the way back too. I still have to do a major cleaning once I get rid of him, no more than he is in the truck.

    The hair alone would drive me mad. Ever thought of a Doberman instead? They have the same hip problems though as the German. My parents have had 3 of them and all have been big babies. All show and no go lol. The last one would literally let anyone in the house and think he's your long lost owner as long as you kept petting him.
