Buses, Trains, and Ships
If you want to transport a dog by bus, train, or ship, your options are limited. Amtrak does not accept animals, except assistance dogs. Many bus lines also don't accept pets.
But if your pet wants a luxury cruise, you can book a spot on the QE2, which has a kennel for passengers' dogs and cats. Animals can also be walked in a special area on one deck, but are not allowed anywhere else on the ship. For more information, contact the Cunard Line, 555 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10017, 800-221-4770, www.cunardline.com.
