People were always surprised when he'd hike 14ers with me because usually people expect to see a big dog on the trail! Little dogs are so underrated with their ability and joy in being the perfectly sized adventure dog. Thank you for this video... it reminds me of all the times i had with my little adventure terrier ❤

We thought of you today when we took a cable car up to the top of the local peak - beautiful, but we thought of you climbing it when we saw other brave souls doing it. Also: in Innsbruck this week is an international mountain bike race of some sort - saw many "fat tire bikes" like yours all around where we are staying -- and also saw several adorable Jack Russell Terriers so you were on our mind today. :) Take more bear spray next time.

    One of the best channels out there. It’s a privilege to watch a legend in his prime. Congrats on another summit and thanks for exploring the nooks and crannies for all us city dwellers.
