The Miracle Dogs of Portugal

What you need to know before your trail

The true father of exploration, may be thought to be Columbus, but  Henry the Navigator although not as well known stands side by side.

As a child, Henry believes the sea is his friend . One day he convinces Diego Garcia, a fisherman, to take him out on the water. Diego’s Water Dog Milagro comes along too

Milagro (which means Miracle) also has a special relationship with the sea. When Henry falls overboard into the ocean, Milagro leaps into the water and saves him

BAck on shore, Diego discovers that the boy has not been completely honest with him, but what he discovers is so magical, it forms part of Portuguese folklore
