drag along
Pull with effort
To drag along is to bring someone or something with effort or reluctance.
You might drag along a heavy suitcase, or drag along a friend who doesn't want to come: I had to drag the kids along to the grocery store.
The phrase suggests burden or unwillingness—either the thing being moved resists, or bringing it feels like an imposition.
