Big respect for the owners who move to the quarantine country with their dogs, particularly that couple that lost $50,000 as a result. I don't know how anyone could send their dog off by itself for 6 months. From the dog's perspective it has been abandoned indefinitely for a time that will feel like several years, relative to its total lifespan. That is so, so cruel.

6 months seems like a long time. When my friend's family moved from the UK to Australia back in ~2005 their dog was in quarantine for 1 month. I wonder what the differences are and/or what changes have occurred since then.
