The route suggested by GLC is one I would have suggested. The cities that he mentioned aren't nearly the problem that some of the other cities could be, including Chicago, and toll roads are not "fun" for those that are towing. (As an aside, we towed an auto transport with one of our vehicles this summer. A section of toll road that cost a single auto $5, cost $12.50 for the vehicle towing an auto on a trailer. There were two sections of toll road -- $25 for the vehicle with the toad, $10 for the single car.)
Other things to think about when you're traveling with a dog: eating your meals, and staying overnight. You might want to preplan your trip overnights and get reservations so you don't get somewhere for the night to find that all the "pets okay" rooms are taken. It may also help you find places with a restaurant close by where you can walk to pick up your food, since most hotels won't want you to leave Fido unattended in your room for long.
