[nagdu] Air Travel With a Guide Dog

[Larry D. Keeler]

Enjoyable, not so much.  But easy, sure.  The dogs usually just lie there. 
If you can at your lay over relieve him.  I don't give Holly any food and 
limited water when we travel.  Having just got back from D.C. and keepping 
Holly in the car for 8 hours each direction, It can be done.  They sure love 
to get out though!
