If you’re a pet parent you’re going to love what this family did for their dog.
Meet Igor. He’s a nice Bulldog from Lillestrøm, Norway.
He hadn’t spent a night away from his family since he joined them when he was little. But when his family had to leave the country for a short trip, Igor had to stay behind.
Instead of being excited about their trip, the Halvorsens were sad because they would miss Igor and he would have to move into a grey, drab kennel.
Igor’s dad, Kai, wanted Igor to feel like he was staying at a home away from home, so he began preparing a surprise for him.
The big day came when Igor had to be left at the kennel. The family brought him in, and Kai’s surprise was revealed.
Kai had lovingly recreated the family’s living room!
Igor immediately made himself comfortable.
He made friends with a St. Bernard named Hera.
Hera liked his place so much she came over to his kennel every day for a visit.
What a loving thing for his family to do!
Here’s a full video of Igor’s home away from home:

Lol, a family trip to Spain was being planned this year. My Husky is nearly 13 and is slipping. His time is running out…. due to pain management of a knee injury. He’s had cryogenic surgery a few years ago, but his leg is weak and riddled with arthritis. I refuse to leave him until after he’s gone. He pines terribly when I’m away…. won’t eat and gets quite depressed. I couldn’t leave him at this stage in his life…Spain will still be there next year…. he may not be.

When we were sent to Germany, I found a home for my dog, Buddy. It hurt to give him away but the man really wanted him.

Great; it would have been cheaper to hire a house sitter, which is what I’ve done for my crew whenever I traveled.

Love it. I have a chihuahua, now 6 months. I’m retired. I only leave him alone at home or at my mom’s no more than 2-3 hours. And he will go with me to Puerto Rico and Florida on my trips there.

We don’t normally go away on holidays for more than few days. This is a tough one to leave my dog . I will make sure I leave her with someone I really trust who love animals esp dogs .
