As a former bodybuilder with a bald head and countless tattoos, Bobby Humphreys knows that others often make assumptions based on his physical appearance. “We all judge each other,” he says. “We all stereotype.” But underneath his intimidating exterior lies a huge heart. Humphreys has dedicated his life—and his Maryland home—to providing a sanctuary for abused and abandoned Chihuahuas, a dog breed judged and stereotyped even more often than Humphreys himself.

Flying with a commercial airline can be a frustrating experience made even more difficult when a pet is involved. Cargo conditions are less than favourable due to temperature extremes, noise, poor ventilation, and potentially rough handling. Even small dogs able to fly in cabin—generally defined as those whose carrier will fit under the seat—face confusing rules and restrictions that change airline to airline. On average, 500,000 pets travel each year within the domestic United States.

Five years ago, I persuaded my best friend Albie to take a road trip with me. We left Boston on a cool mid-April day, dipped our toes in the Pacific at Half Moon Bay, California in mid-May, and arrived home on Memorial Day weekend, 9,200 miles later, having touched 30 states during our journey. Actually, Albie didn’t need much persuading, he just hopped in the car, and off we went for Albie, you see, was a Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever mix we’d rescued from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana in 2012.
