That’s one pricey pup! A woman who spent about $1,000 on travel costs to include her dog on a month-long holiday around Italy says it was “totally worth it.”  Catherine Sophie didn’t want to leave behind her beloved 3-year-old Maltese, named Teddy as she galavanted around Italy for a month — so she decided to bring him as her travel buddy, no matter the cost.

The actress travels from her home in Glasgow to London with her pup frequently and knew Teddy was an easy and comforting sidekick for a journey. “I travel a lot for work and Teddy is a great companion,” she told South West News Service. “I have been really lucky — he is so well-behaved.”
