His Brother Wants To Bring Along His Dog On Their Family Vacation, So He’s Considering Not Going On The Trip
Have you ever considered canceling vacation plans because you found out someone you didn’t like was going?
One man is considering dropping out of his family vacation because his brother will be bringing his dog.
He’s 33-years-old and is part of a family that loves to go on vacation together. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he would go on many trips with his wife, parents, and siblings.
They haven’t gone on a vacation together since 2018, so his parents have booked a beach house in Florida for them to stay in this summer.
They would all have to fly down there together. He’ll bring his wife and new baby, his sister will bring her boyfriend, and his brother plans on bringing his terrier.
“My brother has morphed into a self-described ‘dog dad’ and, based on social media, seems to rarely do things without the dog,” he explained.
“The few times I’ve been around his dog, it behaves fine. It’s too friendly for me, and I can’t speak to how it behaves over multiple days or around babies.”
The deadline to cancel the Florida beach house and get a full refund is coming soon, and his parents need to know if everyone is committed to their trip.
However, he might drop out because he doesn’t want to be in the same house as his brother’s dog for a week, despite not having any significant issues with the dog’s behavior.

“I’m not a dog person. I despise them on airplanes,” he said. “I do not want to travel with the dog. I do not want to stay the week in the same house as the dog. I do not want [to do] activities based on being dog friendly, and I do not want the dog around my son.”
If he drops out of the trip because he doesn’t like his brother’s dog, he could mess things up for the entire family’s vacation planning.
His parents asked him and his brother to hash things out, but they got into a huge argument. His brother won’t budge on bringing his dog and said that his 18-month-old son would probably be louder and more disruptive than the dog.
“He seems firm on this, and I’m ready to pull out of the trip,” he added. “If I don’t go, the trip may fall apart.”
Do you think he should try and put up with the dog or drop out of the vacation?
