Hey Bruce, tell fellow Jersey guy Tom Turcich and his faithful canine companion, Savannah, something they do not already know. This afternoon, this dynamic duo will arrive home in Haddonfield, New Jersey, completing a journey that, for the two-legged member of this six-legged tag team, has spanned 25,000 miles, six continents, and seven years.
You read that correctly. Tom Turcich has spent the past seven years walking around the world. He left home on April 2, 2015, the day before his 26th birthday. Savannah has not been with him the entire time. She joined his one-man perpetual motion machine as a four-month-old puppy when he adopted her way back when in 2015 as he was walking through Texas. She has accompanied him for 22,500 miles.
I lack the eloquence to adequately articulate Tom Turcich's reason for doing what he has done. Lucky for you, he has articulated it right here.
One hell of an extraordinary man. One hell of an extraordinary pup.
One hell of a homecoming.
