“Others abandon their dogs”: A 26-year-old man hitchhiked in search of work and brought his puppies with him. Starting over never meant leaving them behind

He had no job, was hitchhiking, and did not even know exactly how he would reach his destination, but there was one thing he was certain of: his dogs were going with him.

At 26, this young man set out for Corrientes, Argentina, hoping to find work as a baker and begin a new chapter in his life.

Without his own vehicle, he began making his way thanks to people who agreed to give him and his puppies a ride. One of them was truck driver Roberto Romero, who took them as far as Reconquista, where he will have to find another ride to continue toward Corrientes.

Images of the three of them together quickly moved people on social media. Many pointed out that, while some people abandon their pets when moving or financial problems make things difficult, he chose to make his own journey more difficult rather than begin a new life without his puppies.

He still does not know what he will find when he arrives or how long it will take him to find work. But if he had to start from scratch, he decided to do it accompanied by those who had already been by his side when nothing was guaranteed.
