The last 12 years, I have traveled with my dog. A 200 lb Doberman , trapped in a 16lb Dachshund body. He has been like and is a part of me. I have sacrificed a lot of things to take care of him. I have missed a lot cause dogs were not ideal for some things. I have spent a lot of money on him. I LOVE him like my own kids.
However, I would not do it again. I would not take 3 million dollars for him, but I would not give a dollar for another dog.
It is a 24 hour , 7 day responsibility. Decide carefully. But I love my dog.
