I always hear or read about little four legged friends accompanying people whilst hiking through mountians and walking in nature. I had the pleasure of meeting this pack when i travelled down south of Costa Rica. Even finding a black and gold feather along the way.
These little wild ones decided to join me on a walk through a beach. Im honoured that they decided to walk with me.
Dogs are always a symbol of protectiveness and loyalty and I find I get many messages through animals. Every morning I find something to be grateful for and the universe delivers without hesitition. I blessed each dog with a protective bubble and thanked them for walking beside me even if it was for a short time. We must care and love these beautiful animals wherever we travel. For the world is not always kind. If i had lived here they would have been welcomed into my home. But sometimes just a bit of kindness, a treat and some love can go a long way. I've been so lucky to be able to visit this place. Its unlike anything I've seen on Earth.
(I know the locals feed these ones) I have a habit of asking the people what is known about the dogs I meet.
