Granted, you don't get to hike the trails in a National Park (dogs aren't allowed); and there were probably other compromises we made to bring them along, but the peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and safely with us far outweighed a missed opportunity or two. On the other hand, I've always believed that an RV could be a tempting target for a thief - but I doubt a thief wants to tackle the RV with a dog growling/barking behind the door. So perhaps my dogs provide protection, too?
