Fox News
World traveler and adventurer Heike Pirngruber changed her life forever when she adopted a flea-ridden young dog named Butch. The two have now journeyed across continents and learned new cultures.
Pirngruber, 53, adopted the Australian cattle puppy in 2021 while she was staying in a beach hut in Baja California, Mexico. "With Butch, I always have someone there. I am never alone. I have such a connection with him." "I love living day-by-day. I love not knowing where I am staying each night or where I can pitch my tent." Reem Amro is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital. She and the lifestyle team cover a range of story topics including food and drink, travel, and health.
Butch was just a month old, malnourished and alone when she found him.
