Does your pet bark when you're not around to hear him?

Does a tree falling down in a forest make a noise if no one hears it? Does Fido, who you left behind in the campground while you toured, bark if you aren't around to hear it?

You may not know that poor Fido is bored and lonely and will respond the only way he knows how, by whining and barking-- much to the annoyance of your campground neighbors. And don't fool yourself that your precious Fido wouldn't do that.

Either take man's best friend with you or arrange for someone to dog sit. And never leave him tied up outside where he can become tangled in a leash, bite a passerby, escape, or--horrors--become food for a coyote.
