We’ve traveled long distances with dogs in a sidecar to Colorado, and Nova Scotia. We took them in a Vanagon to Arizona and around most of the continental US in a Subaru Outback. We’ve slept with them in tents, in the Vanagon, and in many hotels.

Doggle-Wearing Dogs
Over the past week, we’ve been gradually taking the dogs on progressively longer rides in the Ural to help them get used to it. They’re both taking to it: they now get all excited when I bring out the harnesses, and both dogs happily hop into the sidecar under their own steam. No more need to lift Ben up and put him inside. And Bandido, as it turns out, has become an absolute crazy about Ural rides! He’s taken to following me around the house, barking…

Today was another GLORIOUS day in Boston, and the Ural is grounded because we’re up against our 500km service, but we decided to put on just a few more clicks, and give the dogs another opportunity to acclimatize to the Ural.
