El increíble roadtrip de despedida para el perro Poh

Hoy les traemos una hermosa historia, que los hará llorar, pero también sonreir. Eso si no están secos por dentro.

Los perritos y los animales en general, son seres que nos recuerdan que el amor puede ser incondicional y que nos regalan alegría todos los días. Poh es un perrito labrador que por desgracia tiene una enfermedad terminal 🙁 por lo que su dueño, Thomas Neil Rodriguez decidió hacer un road trip por todo Estados Unidos a manera de despedida, para su compañero incondicional.

Aunque el perrito se ve muy enfermo, se ve que disfruta de estar con sus dueños y de los diferentes paisajes que ha conocido. A nosotros se nos salió una lagrimita con cada foto, despedirse de un compañero y amigo debe ser muy difícil.

Todo comenzó hace 3 meses, salieron de Nueva York y viajarán hasta la costa oeste, para conocer el océano Pacífico.

Hi everyone, my name is #pohthedog. I look like a pup but I’m 15 years old, 105 in dog years, and although I am young at heart and my mind is willing, my body is going through the natural process of old age. My parents found out that I have a couple of very large tumors growing in my abdomen which are inoperable. So my dad @djneilarmstrong decided to give me a bucket list trip across the good old US of A… travelling from #nyc all the way to the west coast, from sea to shining sea. I always wanted to take a dip in the Pacific Ocean, so dad and @goumada are going to bring me all the way, escaping this cold weather so I can get my paws wet and get a nice tan. We are going to go South to North Carolina, Texas, Arizona… All the way up the west coast to Seattle and back. This will be just like pee wee Herman’s trip without the bicycle – #pohthedogsbigadventure. I hope you’ll follow my journey through my pictures here… Can’t wait to get out of this East coast snow! Oh, and if you want to see what my parents are doing when they leave me in the car, follow them at @djneilarmstrong and @goumada. #dog #cute #dogs_of_instagram #pet #animals #petstagram #petsagram #photooftheday #dogsofinstagram #ilovemydog #instagramdogs #nature #dogstagram #dogoftheday #lovedogs #lovepuppies #hound #adorable #instapuppy #instadog

Santa Mónica

It’s been a long two weeks… But I made it with help from @djneilarmstrong and @goumada. The sign signifying the end of Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. I know, we took a different path some of the way, but you understand. We went across the US, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I got to get my paws wet in the nice ocean 🙂 (Atlantic is OK but it ain’t no Pacific!) I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to make it here… But thanks to my parents care I did. #bucketlist item checked. Now I’ve added a new item… To see #nyc one more time :)… Come out tonite to Tokyo town at my dad’s event tokyo beat. See @djneilarmstrong instagram for info! I’ll be there hanging out! #pohthedogsbigadventure

This is my new friend #satchmosharpei. Thank you to your parents @meelanee and @owlboogie for bringing you out to play with me! Lots of love out here in the bay. Hanging out other dogs has been great for my spirit. As a nyc city dog I never got to play with a lot of other pups. It’s so nice to be able to now 🙂 #packanimals #pohthedogsbigadventure

This #bucketlist road trip with my parents has been so great, spending time visiting all these great places. My parents @goumada and @djneilarmstrong got me to California for my 1st swim, and now they said they want to get me back to #nyc. I thought I made it back, but there was something fishy about this New York:) No yellow cabs… And I could have sworn that statue was in New Jersey! That’s ok… Just means we have a couple more adventures to take together 🙂 #pohthedogsbigadventure

Atlanta

People often wonder if I get tired or sad on this trip. Only time I’m really upset is when my parents have to leave me 🙁 when i have to stay in the car by myself I hate it, and I always let my parent know when they get back by whimpering… Hehe suckers 🙂 so even if I look tired, I love it when they bring me siteseeing. I just ride along in my cart and enjoy the sites. This is down by Atlanta’s centennial Park… But was closed for some 4/20 festival. Dang hippies 🙂 #pohthedogsbigadventure #dog #puppy #pup #cute #eyes #instagood #dogs_of_instagram #pet #pets #animal #animals #petstagram #petsagram #photooftheday #dogsofinstagram #ilovemydog #instagramdogs #nature #dogstagram #dogoftheday #lovedogs #lovepuppies #hound #adorable #instapuppy #instagood

Chillin on the Hudson River between new Jersey and Manhattan Island. My dad says there’s no way I can swim in it. I’ve never been jealous of a bird until now. 🙁 #pohthedogsbigadventure misses the clean water…

Ok dad… I know it says ‘beach’.. But that’ palm tree’ is made out of plastic… I’ve been spoiled by the dog parks out west.

Que manera tan bonita de celebrar la vida de Poh y de despedirlo :’). Si alguna vez han tenido una mascota, sabrán el increíble vínculo que se puede llegar a tener con ella.

Aquí pueden seguir las aventuras de Poh.
