Glen Millar’s handsome two year old Labrador Retriever Keg goes everywhere with him. They live in New Zealand, where the ‘tramping’ is dynamic. This photo shows them at 1,510 meters above sea level in the Tararuas mountain range. Keg wears a size medium camouflage Trekker dog pack. Glen tells us that Keg’s pack is filled with these items: a cooker & spare fuel; a fly sheet for both of them to sleep under; a small pan for frying on; Keg’s food (dog biscuits and dog roll); 1 liter of water; Keg’s leash.
Keg is crossing one of New Zealand’s famous swing bridges. Glen says, “This photo was taken down lower at river level in the bush and you can see one of our famous swing bridges and believe me they really swing. I taught Keg from young to cross these and although it is a long way down he has no troubles walking over them. I have to take his pack off though at this point as the bridge is to narrow.”
Here Keg is enjoying his first winter adventure. He especially liked to roll around in the white stuff, although biting at it proved fun too.
