At first glance, they might seem scary and intimidating!


They really enjoy whenever a traveler shows up and will try to earn the right to be your self guided tour guides (sometimes only during the day

, but it might also be for the whole trip

).

Dogs will accompany cyclists

for long hours, running ahead or after the bikes

, through the villages and even joined them on camping spots

, hikes or trekkings.

These dogs are like bona fide guides, they lead the way, pause patiently while you take photos

, bark if you stray off course, and skillfully navigate tricky terrain like muddy patches.
