Man and his dog leaves New Orleans on foot, and rides the rest of the way on a donated bike.
"A man and his dog journeyed by foot, freight train and bicycle, all the way from Mobile, Ala. to Lamar. The man, Sherwood Hunter of Pierre Port, La., fled the Gulf Coast in search of work and a new life in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's destruction.
Hunter said he and his dog had lived on a boat in Louisiana. The boat was destroyed during the hurricane, necessitating their rescue by the Coast Guard.
Hunter, who seemed a little road weary and confused, said there were no jobs to be had along the hurricane-wrecked coast of Alabama so he and his dog headed northwest."
