Last week in the Pilgrim Office there were disgraceful scenes when a so-called pilgrim demanded a Compostela for his dog. When he was refused one he subjected the office staff and the volunteer 'Amigos' on duty to a tirade of foul language, hand gestures and spitting. To their credit, a number of pilgrims waiting in the queue remonstrated with him as he left and demanded he behave properly.
Surely the most basic research into who is entitled to a Compostela would make it obvious that animals are not eligible. So if you MUST take your dog on your Camino, please do not expect it to receive its own Compostela and please do not abuse the Pilgrim Office staff when they rightly refuse to issue you with one.
