STREET DOGS: What I do when one tags along

  • With nearly 19 million street dogs in Mexico, we have daily encounters with others dogs.
    Sometimes the dogs are aggressive but a lot of times they’re not and we end up with a friendly interaction, or a love affair that strings out over a few days.
    This can be really nice because Wombat has a friend to play with, and we have less stressful dog encounters, but it’s also sad because I know I carry enough to support a second dog, or rescue every dog that crosses my path.
    I am as much a lover of dogs as most dog lovers - so this is one aspect of my hike that i really struggle with.

    The struggle is real - we provide treatment to a lot of strays and it is really hard not to take each one of them home. We have had some success with local adoptions though, where the dog doesn't go live in a house somewhere but stays more or less in place but somebody begins feeding them regularly and providing basic care. I had one stray (was eventually adopted thankfully) who used to follow me everywhere after I spayed her - she even tried to jump in taxis and motobicis if she saw me getting in one across the street!

    I loved that Lucy, again it goes to show what a wonderful heart you have. I'm sure Rando dog was grateful to have met you & hopefully the happy ending is that Rando was led by you to her forever home. Well that's my ending anyway.

    I can see how hard it was leaving Rando behind but Im sure Wombat is happy to be back with just you on the road.😊

    Rando was a beautiful dog and got on so well with Wombat, but you certainly do not need an extra mouth to feed and water. I think that you trying to find a home for her along the way was as good as you could do under the circumstances. My heart goes out to stray cats and dogs that just want a bit of love and attention.

    That's a tough one. While they may appear domesticated i assume many have been born on the streets and will live their lives as street dogs. A common issue in many countries.

      Interesting you say that because many people I’ve spoken to who have rescued one says they’re the sweetest and most grateful. I know where you’re coming from though.

    i spent 12 year hitchhiking, with a pack and a dog.. this means tons and tons and tons of walking... the easiest thing to do in the world is carry water and food for a dog... you make it sound like its some crazy thing.. its not, at all lol.. you better of watered that dog too along your way if you knew it was following you from the town.
