Many folks are debating whether it’s good to have a dog during a survival situation or not.  For most dog owners, this is an easy question to answer.  They are a part of the family, so they go. But what if you are thinking of adding a dog to your survival plans?  If so then it is a definitely a good idea to think it through before making a decision.  There are so many dogs that are left stranded during a SHTF event.  I have seen people leave dogs tied up and left behind when they get scared and have not properly prepared for their animals.

During Hurricane Frederic in 1979, I had someone I know stake their dog out in front of my house and flee to Georgia without saying a word to me.  Rescues are always busy during times of disasters. They are left with caring for the animals and then trying to find them good homes.  Dogs have been known as man’s best friend for ages and they have earned that title. Mankind began this special relationship by domesticating the grey wolf around 30,000 BC in Asia. According to Wikipedia, there is archaeological evidence found in a cave in the Altai Mountains where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan meet, that man owned domesticated grey wolves at that time.
