Barber Diego Araújo turned a motorhome into a home and workplace and, with his dog Toddy, travels Brazil combining work, sport and a dream: competing in the Surf Dog World Championship in California. Araújo plans to reach California by 2028, stopping at coastal cities for about two months to train and earn money. He originally set off with a bulldog named Gordão, who died during the trip, after which Araújo adopted border collie Toddy. Besides surfing, Toddy plays footvolley, skateboards and runs marathons.
