If there's anything horrible about going on vacation, it's leaving the best member of the family behind. But you don't have to worry about that, because this pup calls shotgun! And there's no regret---you got a GREAT deal on a pet-friendly hotel, and you won't need to fork over a few hundred dollars for a stay at doggie daycare while you're away.

Wouldn't it be great if it always worked out this way? With these uber pet-friendly lodging options, your family can bring the dog along to any location without breaking the bank. You might want to get a head start on packing, though.
