So this is a little exciting... a little more research today and i'm finding more and more airlines that allow pets to fly in the cabin with their "parents" the size of my dog I would have to pay as another passenger. There are also companies that transport pets so that they do not have to fly in cargo.... The fact that my very heavily coated dog would be subject to such high temperatures made me pretty much toss this idea aside... I think it may be back on the table for now..... Oh I was hoping to find out that it was a stereotype that dogs were still eaten as a delicacy.... that does make me nervous....
