Viral photo of a hiking dog edited or not?
HIKING DOG – Netizens were debating over a photo of a dog taken at Maligcong, Bontoc, wondering whether it was edited or not.
A hiking dog is a canine companion accompanying people on hikes or long walks in natural outdoor environments such as forests, mountains, or trails. These dogs are typically trained to navigate different terrains, follow commands, and behave appropriately in outdoor settings.
They often provide companionship, security, and sometimes assistance with carrying gear. Many breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Border Collies, are well-suited for hiking due to their physical endurance, agility, and love for outdoor activities. Proper training, preparation, and consideration for the dog’s well-being are essential when taking a dog on a hike.
Speaking of which, a photo of a hiking dog in Maligcong, Bontoc, sparked debates online, with some netizens expressing their views on whether it was edited. The dog, likely a Siberian Husky, captured the attention of many due to a photo of it.
The dog is named Loki, and according to a netizen, he’s a pack leader. One social media user commented on Free Edit Pinas, saying, “It has been photoshoped siguro somewhere in time pero baka enhancement lang din ginawa kase equal lang error level ng mga objects.”
Another netizen claimed that it’s obvious it was edited because: “Nasa slope na lugar tas pantay ung paa haha. Amazing.” Apparently, it needs to be clarified whether the photo is edited or not, but one thing is for sure, Loki is a real dog.
Meanwhile, the Siberian Husky is a striking and energetic breed of working dog originating from Siberia, Russia. Known for their distinctive appearance, intelligence, and endurance, they were originally bred for sled-pulling in harsh Arctic conditions. Huskies are friendly, independent, and energetic companions, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation. They have a strong prey drive and may be prone to escaping, but with proper training and socialization, they make loyal family pets.
