Mountain Dog Trekking Alongside Strangers in Nepal Is Melting Hearts

Stop it! Our hearts stopped beating because this is the cutest thing ever. We can't believe how long this dog stayed with them. A whole six days?! Heck, we wouldn't even make it through the first day. LOL! This dog is a born adventurer.
"That’s how it works in Nepal and the Himalayas. They accompany you, be with you as a spirit guide of the Himalayas. You were watched by them," said @cyouinheaven. Ugh, our hearts can handle how sweet this is! Whenever we get the chance to travel to Nepal we hope we get to meet Lucy or another dog like her.
Everyone always says that dogs are a person's best friend, but believe it or not, some dog breeds are banned in certain countries. This could be due to a number of different reasons including a breed's bite statistics, the tendency toward aggression, or a poor history. But there are a few countries that do not ban dog breeds and Nepal is one of those countries. Wow, you learn something new every day!
