More Dogs on the Camino

Charlie: some of the books talked about threatening dogs on the Camino. This one didn’t seem like too much of a threat but we were cautious anyway 😉

Wynette, posted July 29, 2013: When we were reading about the camino before we left, several people mentioned “the wild dogs of Foncebadon”. Luckily, I’d forgotten all about this when we were walking through Foncebadon and so went through there without fear. Charlie posted this photo of a sleeping dog (with joke about being cautious) while we were on the camino and later, after we returned home, we looked up the location of this photo. It was Foncebadon!

We never had problems with dogs anywhere. They were so used to us pilgrims passing through they mostly seemed to ignore us. We met some very nice dogs. We did learn early on not to try to pet them. Charlie did this early on and the dog growled at him. We learned to give them their space and they let us pass through with no problem.
