Wolfie's Travels

I asked my Dad to write up what we take on trips with me. I am a working dog so they make me work (I really love it) and I carry all this in my own backpack.

1)   A 6 foot or under leash. Please NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES – Not only do most places say no to a retractable leash, but it also protects your dogs!

2)   Backpack. Wolfie does have his own backpack he carries, but if your dog can’t you should have these items with in a backpack or bag dor you:

1. Paper Towels
2. Water
