As our family is approaching another camino, I'd like to ask if anyone is aware of the name of the black dog that hangs out in the monastery in Oseira along the camino Sanabres. My brother surmised that it may be a Spanish mastiff as it is quite large. This dog did us a great service by guiding us out of a dark and rainy path leading out of the monastery during last October's pounding rain. We left the albergue at the very early hours of the morning as we were anticipating a long day to get past the closed albergue at Castro Dozon and along the way, my mom broke her ribs after falling on very slippery rocks. We only had one headlamp and this dog that 1) picked us up from the albergue in the morning and 2) lead us through the dark to safety. We truly wanted to take it home as we believed it had saved us in more ways than one but it had a leash so belonged to someone. If anyone encounters this dog along the way, please send all our love and if anyone knows the name of our savior, we would be so grateful to find out.
Unfortunately, we don't have any good pictures, but I've attached a few anyway.
