This halfcrazed dog was attacking my good side in Manjarin, aggressively using his puppy dog eyes to try to get me to give him a piece of my hard won, home made, Lemon and Yoghurt cake that I purchased from the lovely lady in the Manjarin café, along with a hand squeezed orange juice.

I was determined not to be intimidated by him and so, this time, he missed out although it looked like he had been more successful with prior pilgrims.

Later, in El Acebo I came across another old acquaintance.

In 2019 I stayed in El Acebo and as I was leaving in the morning a cyclist shot past me on the narrow lane at full speed with this young fellow hot on his tail. Being downhill, the cyclist easily outpaced this guy and so then he turned his attention to me!

He tried herding me off somewhere but for once I was able to control my urges and I ignored him and he eventually got bored and headed off somewhere else.

It looks like he eventually caught a slow cyclist and as a result he has been sentenced to wear a muzzle. He certainly didn't like wearing it but this time through he was more interested in trying to get the muzzle off than herding me anywhere.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Doug, I can’t believe you resisted those poor little puppy eyes! You must have been in dire need of your sustenance! 😉

Are`all the Wolves as big as these two on Camino🤣
The three I saw near Dozon (after Cea) were bigger than any dog I've ever seen. So much so that the three big farm dogs barking at me fled when they appeared. They didn't even bat an eyelid at me walking up the road and I was in awe to see three wolves for the first time ever.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

My dog Penny, a Border Collie, would like to comment, she demanded, so hear goes...

Ruff, ruff...Roof! Roof ruff

loosely translated, "I'm offended, there are no excuses"
