More: Odie is a rescue with a heart breaking story. It’s not an intense one, but just seeing him from when we got him to now, you can tell it affected him. He was adopted and brought back to the shelter several times. That’s really the whole story, but he’s an emotional dog who is much happier now. Odie is also an emotional support animal now and goes with me just about everywhere. We have a blog called The Banned Traveler and it’s about the adventure and places we go.
