I always thought it terrible that one cannot say out loud without seeming a know it all: "The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates

Did you post this:

"This dog just appeared out of nowhere and followed us for an entire week during our trekking trip in the
Himalayan outback . . . When I decided to get up at 4 a.m. to climb the next 5000 m peak for sunrise he
accompanied me as well. On the top he was sitting for the entire 30 minutes on this place."

Posted at Reddit EarthPorn, where the interesting comment thread includes the following:

"Your spiritual journey of a lifetime. His average Tuesday."

"These people just appeared out of nowhere and followed me for an entire week."

"Maybe it wasnt a dog, but a spirit guide."

"We met the same dog trekking over the Korzok Range near Tso Moriri! The first night he slept under my tent's
fly, then in my friend's vestibule. For a couple of days we didn't feed him, trying to encourage him to go 'home' -
that was very hard because he was such a lovely dog. After we crossed a 5900+m pass we had no choice, and
fed him well. He was a wonderful companion, but eventually abandoned us for a group of mountain bikers, who
presumably had better food! I only have one picture of him, but it was taken at the top of a pass, the only time
he was cold and sad."
