Here is a feel good story and a worthy cause. Sam Green and his dog, Taylor Ham, are walking across America. Taylor Ham isn’t just any companion – he’s an 8.5 year old pit bull/collie mix who is keeping Green company on the quest to walk all the way to Los Angeles.

The goal is to raise $25,000 when he pulls into LA around mid-October. So far on his GoFundMe site he has about $8000. He’s raising the money for Just Believe Inc. This is a charity based on New Jersey that operates local shelters for the homeless. Green’s goal is to raise money to build Jeff’s Camp, a shelter for homeless veterans.
