I doubt someone would do it unless they are good friends. There are so many rules, regulations and restrictions to bring a dog/cat here. It can be done. It is just too complicated. My friends actually brought a cat with them. You are talking about at least $1000 expenses.

We live in MN. No plans yet on going back to Thailand this year. I remember Matt and Bee brought their dog with them back in 2011. I'll send a message to Matt on facebook to see if he remembers anything about that process.
