Walking for days at a time, then having to walk back to your home with a dog?
There are many many many variables you should consider aside from the time it takes to walk by foot.
Rent a car, borrow a car, have a friend drive you. But make no mistake about it... what you are planning on doing has a VERY high probability of ending up disastrous.

What can they really do though for riding your bike on freeway, they'll tell you to ride off. I won't ride off.
Is the freeway really the only road that goes in that direction?

I can't even imagine walking a dog back for days on the side of the freeway in Cali. That has disaster written all over it.
OP should rethink their plans. Safety first.

I'd gladly give him a ride if it weren't for the fact that we live over 3,000 miles from each other.

I'd just buy him a Greyhound ticket if I wasn't broke and trying to relocate right now.

No one will give me a ride to pick up an 8 year old dog that's my EX friends dog, I never liked him having the dog in the first place. His dog is a dog that was never disciplined and was given affection and looked the other way when the dog did something wrong. Will be much different with me, it's an 85 lb dog, and my responsibility, If I don't pick him up, he will be euthanized. The dog is a great guardian, and companion. It's basically in my hands now. This is what the dog looks like.

Bigger/Bulkier though.
At first I read this thread thinking this dude is fucking nuts. Now given the clarity of the situation, I think its great what your doing. I would suggest to TRY and find a ride back. That's gonna be pretty strenuous on an 8 year old dog. I'm glad my compassion for animals is shared here on the Shroomery. This sounds like something I'd do for an animal.
Great looking dog! If it is infact the exact one your going to be getting! Good vibes to you!

Look at it this way - you could probably work for the money for a greyhound ticket in 2-3 days, even if it's minimum wage. Find some 1-time gigs on craigslist, make a hundred or two, then bus down and back. That will literally take you less time.

If you don't want to drive there take the bus or hitchhike...

make no mistake about it: Dogs are NOT distance animals. This dog is NOT going to be able to keep up with you without COPIOUS amounts of water, food and rest.
One of our greatest advantages is our lack of body hair and the abundance of our sweat glands. We are able to stay cooler longer than most other animals on the planet, especially furry ones, due to our ability to thermo-regulate.
That dog could well die. It's a good thing it's winter and not summer but still.
Man this sucks. Try to get a ride one way or the other at least. Preferably on the way back.
Good on you for rescuing the dog though brethren. Be well!

How do you plan to walk back with a dog that doesn't listen and wasn't raised right? You going to hold a leash on it the whole way? Just expect it to follow you and not chase a squirrel or something off in to the woods? You should figure out something else =[

drewo - once you start walking the dog will follow easily enough, especially once it gets tired.
