A Very Useful Escape

Heartbroken and despondent, we grieve and heal by going on a pilgrimage to celebrate the special bond we share with our dogs

In this first episode of A GoRUFFLY Pilgrimage, we pick up our new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro motorcycles at Brothers Powersports in Bremerton, WA and then visit the Western Washington Summer Dog Show to learn about show poodles from Angel Fernandez-Baker of Serenity Poodles.

Next, we travel to Edmonds where we learn about human remains detection from Suzanne Elshult who works with her dog, Keb, to identify Native American burial grounds.
