Dogs don't deserve to be home alone. They are our best friends and when people work, go to school & have much to do away from home, it is not fair to them. I work at night and my husband is home when I am not, I am home when he is not. Our dog is nourishing companionship for us both. Point being, a dog is an important part of of our life. Lately, I have had to travel once a week, 3 hours north of me. That is six hours to & fro, and my appointment takes 2-4hours. So once a week Yoshie would be home alone an entire day. She is so important to us, that my hubby stays home instead driving me. My adult daughter drives me ONLY because we do not want our pooch to be alone so many hours. Any where else we go, and everything else we do, Yoshie comes with us. She loves to ride in the boat like her beloved sister Puck, who went the doggie rainbow last year. When riding in the car Yoshie has a special seat & belt to protect her if there was crash. If dogs live outside and have room to safely romp, like on a farm, and if you more than one, well they would be buddies and being left home wouldn't be an issue.
