This man rescued two abandoned puppies and is taking them on an epic road trip

A man who rescued two abandoned puppies he found in the Arizona desert has turned them into the perfect travel companions. Jordan Kahana (30), who is originally from Chicago and now living in LA, has been on a series of adventures over the past year with the adorable dogs, whom he named Sedona and Zeus.

Back in December 2016, Jordan was working in the area of production and media, and he went on a road trip from LA to Breckenridge, Colorado over the Christmas and New Year holiday break.

He was driving from Sedona, Arizona on 27 December, when he came across two abandoned eight-week-old puppies running loose on a remote road, about 50 miles south of Page.

Jordan stopped the car, chased after the puppies and took them to the vet in Page, where they received treatment for severe dehydration. Then he adopted them and named the female dog Sedona and male one Zeus.

Jordan then decided to quit his job and went travelling full-time with his dogs, calling them the “Adventure Squad.” They have now travelled over 32,000 miles through 35 states and 15 national parks in the US and Canada.

Sedona and Zeus are a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix and are now 16 months old. Jordan documents their travel adventures on social media and they have legions of followers.

“Being with my dogs all the time is the best part of travelling,” he tells Lonely Planet, “as well as seeing their faces when we get to a new dog park or go on a hike. They push me through the hard times.”

Jordan, Sedona and Zeus are currently finishing up a route from Chicago to LA, taking Route 66. Although pee breaks present the biggest challenge, Jordan wouldn’t change a thing about being on the road with his beloved pooches.

Naturally the adorable dogs are a hit wherever they go. “Every now and then people ask if they are the dogs from the highway?” says Jordan. “Usually it goes, “They’re so cute! What breed are they? Are they brother and sister?”
