Go down to the docks and charter a boat captained by some salty dog. Better if they have an eye patch and/or wooden peg leg. I foresee nothing going wrong with this option.
But on a serious note, do look into bringing animals into other countries, oftentimes it's difficult and requires paperwork and such.
I immigrated to the UK from Canada with my cat. He was able to go below in the cargo area. I had to get him a few rounds of rabies vaccines, microchipped and a pet passport. Then the cost of his flight with mandatory insurance was about $300 more than my flight. He had an extra 4 hours before the plane departed, and 6 after. Some animals wouldn't have had toooo hard a time with it, but he was traumatised. It took him more than a week to come out from behind the couch for longer than to use his litter box and eat.
I'll never be taking him out of the country again.
Aw, sorry he had a hard time acclimating. I've never done it personally, but I've heard from a couple friends it was a pain. But their accounts were pretty much the same. Shots, passport, and chip. Glad he's all good now though.
I don't plan on moving to another country, but I would like to travel with my dog. I don't think she'd do well on a plane either. I'm just not sure if I want to do multiple day drives with her (same country) or not.
Yeah, I get that. For a domestic flight, a loooot of these complications just go away. That said, could still be extremely expensive. Likely significantly more expensive than taking a scenic multiple day drive that your dog will absolutely love hopping out in strange places and peeing to claim it as no dog has before!
Yeah. That's my thoughts. I'll get around to doing it eventually.
