The traveller behind the account @george.in.the.mountains set off for a hike around Lake Atitlán.
Early into his journey, he encountered his first furry companion. In this region, where stray dogs often roam freely, it’s not unusual for a curious pup to greet passers-by.
A magical moment
Soon enough, more dogs appeared. By the time the sun began to rise over the town, George was flanked by a full canine crew.
The moment felt like a scene from a film, peaceful, surreal, and quietly powerful.
Climbing companions
Viewers were quick to share their admiration online.
One commented, "It’s mad that someone’s out there climbing a mountain with stray dogs to watch the sunrise, while I’m here wondering how to ask for pens and Post-its because budgets are tight. Life is strange, but absolutely beautiful."
You couldn't ask for better guides than these.
