❤️🐾 The Mission
First, Jennifer is writing Rio's story one book at a time, so the world doesn't forget the Podencos still waiting in the shadows to be found. Giving Podencos a voice through the books is her passion.
Second, She may not be able to walk the Camino anymore, but she can return! She will lay Rio's ashes to rest back in Torres del Río, where their story began, along with the other places on the Camino that Rio loved most.
Along the way, she will talk with pilgrims and locals about "the Great Forgotten": the thousands of Podenco hunting dogs abandoned once the season ends, often left along the very roads people walk while searching for a new beginning of their own.
And, as Rio would say:
Buen Camino ❤️🐾
