Who do you take on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip? ManB次元官网网址檚 best friend, of course.
On Oct. 28 Paul Heroux, the mayor of Attleboro in Massachusetts and his 10-year-old Japanese wolf dog, Mura, set out for Victoria.
HerouxB次元官网网址檚 first vacation in three years came a month after Mura was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, a blood cancer that requires chemotherapy. Heroux got Mura when she was eight weeks old, and since then Mura has even helped Heroux on the campaign trail. To return the favour, her owner took them on the road.
Their destination was MuraB次元官网网址檚 birthplace, but their trip has also gone viral.
B次元官网网址淚 had no idea that my ride with her to go visit her breeder in Canada would turn into the story it did. I wanted to go see her breeder and meet her in person. So I thought I would make a couple stops to national attractions on the way, and on my way home visit where I went to college and see the Grand Canyon. I had no idea that my trip with Mura would turn into what it turned into. So thank you everyone for being so kind to her,B次元官网网址� Heroux wrote upon their return to Mass.

On Nov. 2, Mura arrived at her hometown. There, Heroux reconnected with her breeders, and Mura met other wolf dogs. Then, they had a week to make it back to the home they share in Massachusetts.
Under every post about their trip, there are many comments commending Heroux on their trip, praising human-canine friendship and MuraB次元官网网址檚 cuteness. Many said their voyage would make a good childrenB次元官网网址檚 book to which Heroux replied, B次元官网网址淪everal people have suggested this and I am going to do it when I get back.B次元官网网址�
By Nov. 13, both were back in the office and it was business as usual for the mayor and his canine best friend.
