Why One Man Is Walking Around the World With His Dog

Who better to see the world with than your best friend? Especially when your best friend is a dog. Tom Turcich of New Jersey and his adorable pooch Savannah have walked over 18,000 miles through the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile, Italy, Turkey and dozens of other countries over the past five years. It’s been a life-changing adventure. They’ve survived hardship, and they’ve experienced the kindness of strangers along the way. And they’ve still got miles to go.

    It's true and it's not a coincidence. We homo sapiens gradually edited the genome and DNA of their species by domesticating them and breeding them as we wanted, eventually creating incredibly human-compatible creatures that just "designed" by us to be very human friendly. Also i think intelligence plays an important part, since many intelligent creatures are very friendly. Think about it. Whales, Dolphins, Monkeys, Gorillaz, Chimps, Octopuses, and Dogs and Pigs and Cows and Birds especially Parrots etc. and then you have Crows and also Ravens. These are all very intelligent species and they are mostly friendly (if not threatened). Now you may say but what about Tigers and Lions and other Predators. Most of them are also very intelligent species. Yes. I'm not saying intelligence guarantees friendliness in a species but it allows it. Some species that are intelligent are carnivores and so they hunt and kill other species. That's the way the world works.

Just thinking about him gone feels like their will be no hope. Its good to move on though and my mom lost her dog in mexico when she left and came to the north for her children his name was Oso, bear in english he was a big companion until she gave him away she still has another dog a golden retriever 16 or 15 yrs old he lives next door from my grandma's house because my grandma does not like dogs but she had to leave her dog. I can't imagine me without Toby my dog.

    Great story, Thank you. My situation is similar. I bought an RV and have been traveling around America Canada and Mexico. I am looking for my forever rescue dog. . Life is short. Everything can change in an instant. Mine did the day after I graduated high school. 18 years old I broke my neck C6-7 and was a Quad, in a wheelchair. Told I would never walk again. After a lot of hard work, I was Up and walking unassisted. Now I am out living the nomadic life.

    Actually, when you serach carefully among millenials you find more people like him. I run courses for adults who often talk about themselves and all I hear is: "Kids? No thanks. I'd rather hike in the Himalayas or dive in caves". And they have pictures to show it. Mind you those aren't college kids but people in their late twenties and early thirties. Frankly, it's getting more and more difficult to find someone living the traditional way: husband/wife, kids and a dog, especially among people who have higher education and money to treat themselves to life's many pleasures. So either we have a TON of life quitters or we should expand our definition of what a happy life could entail. Heck, even when I talk to parents they are often divorced single parents so ye olde Disney formula crashed and burned for them as well. Makes one think.
