Advice needed: traveling across country with TWO dogs!

My husband loves to take the dog with him on errands and will leave him in the car when he runs into Home Depot or something. It’s not usually a long time but I hate when he does this. I think it’s probably anxiety producing for the dog to see the owner leave - and then see all the people/car activity around them. At least our dog might have anxiety over this!

I also worry about the dog getting into something in the car that he shouldn’t or barking or even someone managing to steal him!!! H and I have had lots of disagreements over this!
