I agree--I don't take my dogs many places but when I travel out of town to visit my family, I am by myself with them so I have to leave them in the car when I have to run to the rest room--dogs are not allowed in rest areas if they are not service dogs. I don't like leaving them and I'm always paranoid that someone will steal them within the 3 minutes that I'm away from the car but I'm not able to do things any other way. I make sure they are in a travel crate and it's covered with a blanket so nobody will know what kind of dogs I have and I don't leave them for long periods but it has to be done. Either that or I'd have to board them when I visit my parents, which I simply won't do.
