We had a dog who didn’t like going in the car. We would tell him to mind the house and he would curl up on a chair and sleep until we got back. We never worried about any possible damage while we were gone. He would only move if there was a flying insect in the room. He was afraid of those and would hide in the bedroom or upstairs. Dad had to kill the bug and show him the corpse before he would come back.
