Scott Brown, his wife, and a team of visitors were on their way to mountain waterfalls in North Bend.
Scott observed a dog observing the travelers as they left the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
He didn’t think much of it at the time.
However, after climbing the mountain path for a few kilometers, the travelers observed a black dog that appeared to be pursuing people on purpose.
Scott wanted to get to know the dog because he appeared to be kind.
It was discovered that a black Labrador was intrigued by tourists, and the dog was wagging its tail, plainly eager to participate in the promotion.
But what was a dog like that doing in the mountains? The travelers received a response extremely quickly.
Scott reasoned that the dog had gone missing; otherwise, why would a Labrador bother strangers?
The man felt compelled to pick up a dog so that it would not freeze in the mountains.
And the dog followed him the entire time, barking and wagging his tail.
Finally, Scott gained the dog’s trust and decided to learn more about his owners.
Maybe there’s an address label on the collar? And it was true, but not in the way Scott had hoped.
“My name is Smokey. Please do not kidnap me because I live nearby. “Sometimes I like to trail hikers,” the inscription added.
“Don’t be concerned,” the badge said. “When I’m tired, I’ll go home.” My family adores me. Thank you for being so considerate!” It was written on the back.
Smokey was not joining the hikers for the first time, and the owners were obligated to tell folks like this that their dog simply enjoys walking.
It’s unclear what Smokey did to prompt them to order such an ID tag.
The Labrador fled towards the adjacent houses as Scott and the rest of the hikers made their way down the hillside to the parking area where they began.
And he waved goodbye to his new friends, barking invitingly…
