There he tossed on his new TevaItunda Water shoes and waded into the stream without me. I looked on disapprovingly as he appreciated the work of hiking with his pack full and testing the weight. It was over 40 pounds and probably closer to 50 but we’d worked pretty well up through the trail. Even I will admit it was pleasant enough for 100 foot water hurling itself down the mountainside at unsuspecting dogs!” Read the full post it’s amazing!

Do you have favorite, though maybe a little less intense, trails that you can share with us dog-people. Are there any groups that work with children and their guides in New Hampshire?

It was great! It's so cool seeing you in action together -- what a team! I was most impressed with just how much joy and pride clearly radiated from Quinn -- he was wagging nonstop and clearly was loving every minute of what was just as equally clearly incredibly challenging work. Wow! What a dog! Despite the video pretty much being all about how amazing Quinn is, I was of course really impressed with the courage and ability of the human half of the dynamic duo, too. I hope one of these days we can join you on a lesser hike and see the the great team in action in person! I see you guys are back now -- huge, epic congratulations on your mighty feat, and I can't wait to hear all about it! I just saw the Nashua Telegraph video. It was great!

Your dog is smarter, or at least wiser and more sensible, if not more capable of (for example) doing complex math, than many humans!
