Leave your broken down car with a recovery company while you come home by train across France with your dog .Make your way to Dieppe for the Newhaven ferry as that company will accept you as a foot passenger with a dog but others won’t. Reclaim train fares later from travel insurance company.

There are certainly alternative European breakdown insurances covering both car and caravan. Eurotunnel can sell you one if you are travelling with them. Eurobreakdown is another. If a local repair is not possible they will all get a brokendown car and caravan home on a truck. - some quicker than others. But you don’t have to ride all the way back home in that truck. Even with a dog you can travel home separately - on a train or in a hire car.

On a train, Yes, but not on Eurostar, and you can't take pets on the channel crossings as a foot passenger. Some say you can take them via Newhaven, but never seen it happen and I'm dubious. Hiring a car isn't easy, either, to take across the channel. There are pet transport companies which will take a pet across, but for travellers with pets it is a conundrum if they don't have relatives who will help out, drive across, and pick them up!

There are a few taxi companies that will take you and your pet across on the tunnel both ways, Folkestone taxi Co is one
