Mary-Alice Pomputius writes Dog Jaunt, a blog focused on traveling with a pet dog. She and Chloe, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, have crossed the U.S. repeatedly, in all directions, and they've crossed its borders and the Atlantic too. Bone Voyage distills what they've learned, and makes pet travel easy and accessible.
