Scotland with a dog feels like a cinematic decision.

Castles. Fog. Stone walls. Winds dramatic enough to improve your personality. Your dog staring into the distance like they personally inherited the Highlands.

Then you arrive at the entrance.

Croatia with a dog sounds like a perfect plan.

Waterfalls. Lakes. Stone paths. Mountain trails. Your dog looking heroic in the breeze. You looking like someone who definitely remembered water, snacks and the leash.

Then the national park happens.
