Pet travels across globe following its owner
     2015-April-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    LEAVING a favorite dog in kennels while traveling abroad can be a source of profound guilt.

    But one owner was so overwhelmed with anxiety at the thought of being parted from her pet, she decided to take the dog on her frequent journeys overseas.

    As a result, May Wong’s 4-year-old cockapoo, Darcy, has traveled the globe — visiting 11 countries and 23 destinations including New York, Berlin, Stockholm, Milan and Paris.

    She takes more trips with her owner every year than the average Briton and has covered nearly 25,000 miles (40,233 km) since 2011 — making her a real-life Phileas Dog. Now the pair have been joined on their trips by Wong’s new dog, George.

    The dogs have traveled on planes, trains, cars and ferries across the world and sleep in dog-friendly hotels with their 55-year-old owner.

    Among the landmarks they have visited are the Eiffel Tower, New York’s Central Park and the Berlin Wall.

    Darcy, who took 12 trips with her owner last year alone, has become such a seasoned traveler she is familiar with boarding procedures at stations and airports.

    Her interior designer owner said: “Over time and effort, traveling with Darcy has become routine.

    “I know her ways and by now she’s familiar with being in trains, waiting around in stations, boarding procedures for ferries and planes. She is a very calm dog. I am lucky that she is a very good traveler.” (SD-Agencies)
