Well, that little white canine followed them for 20 days, 1,100 miles and over 12 mountains, scampering along to keep up with the group. One cyclist started a blog about the dog and it's attracted 40,000 followers. All those miles certainly paid off for little Xiao Sa. One of the cyclists is taking her home.
