A Marine Atlantic ferry trip was "ruff" for a couple of passengers, when the pet-friendly cabin they thought they had booked wasn't available

CBC Newfoundland Morning

A Newfoundland woman is not pleased with the lack of accommodations available for her pet rescue dog on a Marine Atlantic ferry in late March. Danielle Irvine of St. John's set out to drive to Montreal, and she took her mild-mannered, seventy-five-pound husky/retriever mix, Whylie Coyote, in the car. The dog had experienced a lot of trauma before Irvine adopted him. He is still overly anxious and needs medication to calm him on long drives. Their trip to the mainland hit a roadblock once they finally left Port Aux Basques on the ferry. Irvine spoke with CBC producer David Newell. We also spoke with Marine Atlantic spokesperson Darrell Mercer.
