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:

K9 agility competition · puppy yoga · dog paddle boarding · search & rescue · sheep dog herding · police dog training · dog dancing · scent work · medical alert

For more information about this unique and heartwarming journey, check out our information sheet here.

Do you know someone who does something extraordinary with their dog? Tell us about it so we can visit and share their story!

Include a photo, video, or link so we can see it.
