Smokinglems met a friend

"The Best Tour Guide, A Dog, and said goodbye, until next time."

One of the best photo we had during our climb to Osmenia Peak in Dalaguete Cebu is this wonderful dog with the landscape who went with us up to the mountain and guided us on our way. There is a nice story behind this.

One of the villagers there own this dog but surprisingly, this dog also serves as a community tour guide for people who wants to climb up the mountain. The dog randomly pick a visitor and climb with them up.

Before you climb up the mountain, there is a community hall where you need to register your name first and pay a small amount for a community fee, and to rent a tour guide. There is a certain fee for the tour guide but its up to you if you need one to guide you, you are also allowed to go without it if you know the way. My father decided not to get one to have more adventure.

So when we went on our way up to the mountain, this dog followed us and went in front of us. At first I thought this dog was asking for food, but while we go slowly, the dog waits in front of us, always looking back and moving forward.

One instance, because we climb early morning and the fog is so strong, we walked carefully slow, the dog was walking fast and didn't notice that we are left behind,

so he went far from us, but what's funny after a while he return back and waited for us. Now this dog took our attention and gave us a feeling of security.

When we reach the top, we where taking photo and this dog waited for us, for the rest of the time, even fell asleep. After a long stay, the sun rises and the sky became clear, the
stunning view of the place slowly reviled to us.

The dog was still there for the rest of the day as you can see behind my brothers.

I will soon make blog about our climb to Osmenia Peak.

We went down and that dog stayed with us, walking back to the community hall, the dog became our companion for the rest of the day, and when we reach the community hall, we saw him leaving us and going separate ways. I was thinking maybe that is his job, to take care of, the people there, I even ask somebody there is that dog also can help in times of emergency, they said yes, if there is a problem that dog will run down to ask for help. We where happy to meet somebody in our trip, a good companion, a dog. Lonely when he left, trying to serve other people. And maybe somehow, if we ever go back there, we hope to see that dog, our friend, again.

Hope you like my story.
