Willie, de perro abandonado a mascota trotamundos

Justin Bhagat, consultante web y viajero originario de Canadá, ha hecho que la amistad con su mascota trascienda fronteras.

No sólo las personas son víctimas de los desastres naturales. Después del huracán Katrina, muchos animales quedaron abandonadas a su suerte. Willie, un perro de 6 años cruce de schnauzer y poodle, tuvo la suerte de ser adoptado por una alma viajera.

“Después de rescatar a Willie, comenzó a acompañarme en mis viajes. Es tranquilo y su naturaleza alegre le facilita el conocer nuevas personas. Simplemente  es amigable y lleno de amor. A donde quiera que vaya, se acerca a las personas a saludarlas y regularmente se sienta con ellos”, declaró Justin para DailyMail.

Hasta el momento los dos aventureros han visitado 12 países y 40 ciudades. Justin lleva con ellos una carriola para que Willie pueda continuar cuando ya está cansado. Cada nueva aventura es documentada en su cuenta de Instagram.

A esta increíble pareja también les preocupan ayudar a los demás. Aquí les dejamos el link de la fundación que crearon para recaudar fondos y poder ayudar a diferentes proyectos y organizaciones:  www.whereiswillie.com
