Here’s a little piece from my nephew, Rob Thomson, who is bicycling from Japan to London, now in Turkey. He’s a dog-lover too.
“I ended the day by pitching my tent in a closed council picnic area. The gate said, ‘Warning, Guard Dog’. I don’t think so. The nice old pooch would rather lick you to death than bite. Great dog! “Some local kids heard the racket of the dog whining at me to play, so they came to investigate. After ascertaining that I was a foreigner on a bicycle, they rushed off and returned with soup and bread for me. Cheers, guys!”
The story of Rob’s amazing journey appears online at: www.14degrees.org.
