Moxie and I formed an extraordinary bond by riding together and traveling the world. I want to learn about the other extraordinary things that people do and the bond they form with their dog.
So, as we grieve the loss of our beloved Moxie who passed away recently due to complications from surgery, we’re undertaking a heartwarming motorcycle pilgrimage to visit dog lovers who are doing other extraordinary things with their furry companions.
A GoRUFFLY Pilgrimage is a journey to celebrate the special bond between a person and a dog. It’s a journey of healing before we open our hearts to a new K9 copilot who will continue the adventure around the world with us.
– Jess
We’re participating in these extraordinary activities and more:
