Hiker Joined by ‘Unexpected Hiking Buddy’ at 15,000 Feet

A man was hiking in Peru when suddenly a dog joined him on the trail. He was so surprised, he made a video, which he later posted to TikTok. The dog seemed so happy to be there, even though it was clearly very cold outside, and he or she must have been a long way from home. The hiker and the dog stuck together for a while, and the man seemed just stunned that a dog could be that high up a mountain.

“What are you doing here? You’re at 4,600 meters!” the hiker says to the dog as he films. The dog then leads the way up the icy mountain trail.

“If we get lost, I’m blaming you,” the man jokes as the dog runs ahead. “You’re in charge now.”

Turns out, this wasn’t the only unexpected hiking companion the hiker would come across on his trek. He posted a second video showing yet another dog that he met the next day. One theory from the comments is that the dogs live in a local village and they like to follow hikers.
