Dogs

Does anyone have photos of people walking with dogs? I mentioned that I saw a couple of dogs carrying their own food etc and my lovely mum wants me to prove it!

I walked a bit on the Norte with a young woman and her dog.

Met these three pilgrims walking home from Santiago. The dog didn't have to carry his own food thanks to his donkey pal.

We walked with a woman and these two dogs for a few days. This is in Viana

I don’t have any photos of people walking with dogs. But I do have some photos and video of a dog that let me walk with him up O Cebreiro last February.

Hi Jill
The collapsed dog looks to be carrying more than 10% of his body weight.

He was too tired, plus his bagpack

My do g would just look at me scornfully if I tried that.

This poor pooch had damaged paws. His owner constructed this contraption to ease his pain. If you build it ... !

In April 2016 I kept hearing about the "puppy man". He was Spanish and walking with his dog. Somewhere in the vacinity of Pamplona he had rescued a young puppy from a cold river. He told us that he was unsure that the puppy would survive, it was unconcious for 16 hours while he carried it next to his body. Finally it woke up very hungry and when we met was doing well. The man, his dog Arco and Iris the puppy camped out each night. The man's pack was extra large for all the dog food that he had to carry. Arco iris is a rainbow.

Oh, let me put your minds at rest! Both dogs were rescue dogs and very fit and healthy. They were walking in the opposite direction, and the one dog took a rest while we stopped and talked. He jumped up and merrily continued on his way when we parted. The packs look big, but they weren’t heavy. Believe me, we checked!

Our new best furry friends we met a couple of times on the Aragones last year.
They were having a ball and the little one even got a ride when his legs got a bit too short

My buddy's 2 dogs got tired all the time so he was carrying them most of the time. He had over 70 pounds to carry. Not ideal !

Hello Andy,

My son and I walked the Camino Frances June/July 2018, we met a lovely lady with her dog walking walking the same way as us.

Somewhere on the Meseta, July 2017.

Saw some pilgrim dogs but they were smaller size and didn't carry anything. Were running around being dogs, thats all. But I did see a dog that was riding a donkey.

I saw that last year. Donkey pulling half a car as well.

We met that exact guy one rainy day on the Meseta in early May 2016! Same two doggos, same story. The puppy was very busy playing "ambush" with the older dog, who was valiantly attempting to sleep (and being extremely tolerant). We gave him some extra food we had, for which he was grateful.

Thank you @Lisa HS , for further news of The "Puppy Man" (I do not know his real name) and his much loved dogs Arco and Iris. We met them in Tosantos.

Please give us some feedback . What did your lovely mum think of the above photos????

 

[andywild]

She was most impressed... Apparently I'm to take her dog on the next camino...
This will never happen!
