There is so much natural beauty in the world, and most of us will never see even a fraction of it. There are always a million excuses to put off a life altering trip- money, work, kids, timing.
Life is too short to miss out on the good stuff, and even shorter for our canine companions. Put all the adult baggage aside for a while and take your best friend on the adventure of a lifetime. You won’t regret it, and your dog will never forget it.
