A couple months ago, I was hiking in Nepal. The two of us had lunch at a restaurant on the trail where there was a puppy. One of us pet the puppy, the other fed it.

After lunch, as we continued the hike, the puppy started following us. For 2 hours! At first I thought we'd essentially stolen someone's dog. The Nepali guy I was hiking with explained that the puppy is basically a trail dog.

It soon became obvious that there were many dogs following people, hoping to get food. Eventually the puppy started following someone else who had more food.



We had stray dogs follow us up to Everest base camp! In the snow and cold, they really wanted to get fed.
