Bao, a 3-year-old Chihuahua, has been to Paris, Mexico and Alberta
A three-year-old Chihuahua is living the good life as his owner packs his suitcase and takes him across the globe.
Bao, who lives in Toronto with his owner Xa Thi Ngoc Tran, has been to Paris, France, Mexico and Alberta in the last two years — staying in five-star hotels along the way.
Tran is a 37-year-old finance worker. She said she got Bao during the COVID pandemic, but the pair didn’t start traveling together until 2022.

"I never wanted to travel without him because he’s my baby boy," she told SWNS, the British news service.
The six-pound dog’s first trip was a four-hour flight to Lake Louise, Alberta. Since then, the dog and his owner have made it across the pond.

Tran said Bao has a 75-piece wardrobe worth $2,500, including such items as a Chanel silk scarf, sparkly jackets and turtleneck sweaters.
"Since he was a puppy, I’ve liked to match his clothes to my neutral aesthetic with trench coats and denim, but Bao is partial to a Hawaiian shirt when on holiday," Tran told SWNS.

She also noted that there are additional costs involved when bringing a pet on a trip — but she said it’s "more than worth it."

"Getting Bao was the best decision, and he’s like my perfect match," Tran told Fox News Digital.
