I hate to say it because we absolutely love dogs, but since ours passed a few years ago, it's made a huge difference on how we travel.
Even when we didn't have to worry about temperature, we worried about leaving him alone while hiking or cycling for long periods. There is much we do now that we wouldn't do before, and I don't think toad versus no toad would have made a significant difference in that regard.
I expect we'll eventually get another dog or two, but can't imagine wanting to tow a car everywhere we go.
