Westcoast summer hike to an alpine lake. I had an awesome malemute packing in with me. It was a steady climb for most of the day and it was mid week. The lake had visitors on the weekend but I'd never seen anyone there during the week.

As you got within a couple hundred yards of the lake the terrain flattened out and the rain forest opened up into the alpine. The dog was in front of me of course and when he saw the lake he started to trot to the water.

I heard the 'sasquatch' screams and ran to the lake. A hiker was lying on his back with the dog nose to nose with him.

He had been sleeping in the sun and enjoying the solitude and the dog ran up and licked his face. When he opened his eyes he saw WOLF!!!!!! and sceamed.

When he realized what was really happening we had a good laugh. By the end of the next day, he was talking about getting a pack dog.
