Jim Nelson
Jim Nelson and Rene Agredano live, work and write from the road in their RV. Their nomadic life began in 2007, when they sold everything to travel with their terminally-ill dog, Jerry. Given just months to live after his leg amputation, Jerry's bone cancer diagnosis turned their lives upside down and around, and they never looked back.

Jim Nelson and Rene Agredano live, work and write from the road in their RV. Their nomadic life began in 2007, when they sold everything to travel with their terminally-ill dog, Jerry. Given just months to live after his leg amputation, Jerry's bone cancer diagnosis turned their lives upside down and around, and they never looked back.
The trio founded Tripawds.com, which has grown to be the largest online support community for three legged pets and their people. In 2014, they formed the non-profit Tripawds Foundation to directly help amputee pets everywhere.
It 2019, they published Be More Dog: Learning to Live in the Now which documents their journey with Jerry, and the many life lessons he taught them along the way. Be More Dog features a foreword and original illustration by internationally syndicated MUTTS comics creator Patrick McDonnell, and was ranked #1 New Release in Travel With Pets and Veterinary Surgery by Amazon.
Jim and Rene continue full-time RVing today with Tripawds spokesdog Wyatt Ray, and chronicle their nomadic adventures at LiveWorkDream.com.
