Road Trip with the Dog

Taking a dog on a long drive is mostly about the car surviving the dog and the dog surviving the car. This scene follows our first six-hour trip to the coast with a 20-kilogram dog in the order the problems appeared: loading the car, the rest stop halfway, a day on the beach, and a rental flat that was not ours to ruin. Everything here is sized for a medium dog in a normal hatchback or estate. Expect to spend between $110 and $200 for the full set, with the seat cover and the travel bed taking the biggest share.
