Vacationing with the dogs

I would never take my dog on a flight with me. As some other people have said, the whole experience would be way too stressful for my dog I think. Plus, airlines treat baggage horribly, I can't imagine they would treat pets any differently. Furthermore, we also don't leave our dog in the care of a kennel when we travel and are unable to take our beloved Beagle along. Literally, if our dog can't be left with family or close friends that he trusts and is familiar with, we just don't go. He's like a child to us and we treat him as such.
