If it's sentient, he might have to buy it a ticket for the trip home.
Either that, or go with an airline that allows animals.

Nahh, a Sapient Pearwood Luggage is a much more useful device in that
among other things it eats your enemies and finds you no matter _how_
hard you try to lose it.

P,

I think what you're looking for would be a "Foldbox" - which, like a
TARDIS is "Dimentionally Trancendental", i.e. Bigger on the inside
than it is on the outside, but without the time & transport functions.

See Heinlein's "Glory Road" for further description.
