Dogs are said to present quite a problem to pilgrims on the camino. In the early days it wasn't uncommon for the odd pilgrim or two to be devoured by wolves and more recently Shirley McKlane had her mystical dog encounter aswell as did Paulo Coelho in his book the Pilgrimage. However I didn't, but did have large dogs fortunately chained up give me alot of bark at times. I met other pilgrims with dogs doing the camino along their side. Other than that I have little to bark about.
