Thats kinda Cool, The Cowboy Dog with his bedroll and his food ,all he needs to enjoy the Mountains !

2 years ago while hiking into Kinglet Lake we encountered a family with 4 dogs of all sizes. The one big Pitbull had these big bags of water in his pack , and he got spooked when i went to pet him and he began rolling down the hill until a bush stopped him ! Way overloaded !

So what about Foot care? what has anyone had a dog tear a pad on the shale or anything? How about repair kit if the dog gets hurt...
