This is meant to be a little light-hearted.
There's always a bit of chatter about angry dogs along the Invierno, and while we passed many, all were behind fences, the only face to face encounter with a dog was this, heading into Chantada.

At first I thought "floofball" was a take on the word football, but I googled and found out something new today about a type of dog fur.

fluffy dogs (and cats) are great big floofs--a very scientific term

Walked the Invierno last year and met many friendly dogs. We joked of wild dogs on the Camino as we walked, but all dogs with an attitude all seemed to be behind a fence or were only interested in protecting their property lines. The Invierno was wonderful!!!
