More: Poncho is the best dog who had a tough start to life. His owner was deported and he ended up in the pound. He loves his grandparents. He tolerates his cat brothers. His fan club is much larger than mine. Poncho went to work with me eveyday for the last decade. He even had his own badge. I’m always grateful when I get to travel with Poncho. As he gets older, I’m always left wondering if this is our last hurrah. Since this picture, we’ve been on several camping and road trips.
