You spent a year traveling with your dog across the country? What an experience! Years ago, maybe when I was in high school, I read Travels with Charlie by John Steinbeck. He did the same thing. I remember thinking to myself, I’m going to do that. I didn’t but I think I just might re-read the book.
Travels with Charlie is an excellent book! I laughed like crazy when he was forced to put Charlie in the camper during his excursion through Yellowstone, and saw a Charlie he never realized existed when the bears were near.
I’ve read it twice and loved it each time.
