You know some people “love” dogs and others love dogs. If my wife had to choose between me and our dog to go on a trip she would choose the dog. We board our dogs on trips and for both the dog and my wife it is literally traumatic for them. I can understand people bringing their dog with them and see know issues that can be overcome. I would be more concerned with a new born which people frequently bring. This would be up to the charter co. I believe her dog is hyperallogenic, no shedding like my Maltese. I can wrestle with my white colored dog with black pants and black shirt and have not a single hair on me as opposed to my sisters golden retriever which shed so much at a recent barbecue the entire surface of my pool was filled with fur. Good luck Sean! Don’t be discouraged.
