That sounds like a nightmare vacation. Sorry you had to endure a strip search and bomb dogs. After I moved to Idaho in 2000, my resources were a bit slim from a self financed relocation. We still managed a few overnight trips to Yellowstone. My oldest son cared for the pets on the overnight. After my oldest son passed in May 2012, we no longer had any help to watch the pets, so trips have been limited to same day together. If a multi-day out of town is necessary, one of us stays home to care for the pets. My last business trip to San Diego was Sept 2017. None since then.

Considering what led up to it, it didn't bother me (I was understanding about that)... it was that half of the ones in front and behind me were either rag-heads or red-dots, and NONE of them got searched, and I was STILL paranoid about every muzzy I saw, even in Japan. (And, I was with my new wife...)

Sorry to hear about your son, may he rest in peace.

On a lighter note, couldn't you assign the pets to guard potatoes? (just kidding 😁)
