Truckers with Dogs - Trucker To Trucker

Truckers with Dogs are more and more common, tell us about your four legged friend adventures.

Truckers with Dogs Read an interesting story the other day about a trucker who's dog ran away while he was at a truck stop.

Seems he called his dispatcher and said he'd be delayed a bit cuz his dog ran away and he had to find him. The understanding dispatcher said he could find his dog later or look for another job, so the poor guy left his dog and put a cry out for help on his CB. The local community got wind of the story and responded.

They located the lost pooch and he was reunited with his owner in about a week. The story was a bit of a "tear jerker", but I understand as I have a pooch that with me constantly who is a dedicated and loyal companion. Unlike my wife who I love dearly, Lulu never gets pissed at anything I do – although she does get a puzzled look on her face from time to time.

Anyway that story got me to wondering – how many truckers have a pooch as a road companion? I remember years ago when Frank a trucker and close family friend, now long gone, had a small Chihuahua that was his constant companion on the road. I think part of the reason Frank passed was that "Loopy" died only a few months before and Frank had a broken heart. Anyway – how about sharing your story about a four-legged driving companion? I'll read it to Lulu as she loves to ride.
