Pablo and the Open Road

Most people buy or adopt a dog, but very few are paid to take a dog! My little man Pablo, a Chihuahua-Beagle mix, came into my life in the most unexpected way. As an international college student from Ireland – thousands of miles away from home in Nebraska – I had been longing for a dog. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs, and being away from animals made the United States even more lonely. I longed for a furry best friend.
