Hi, I’m Paige and this is Dude. I’m a 30-year-old human, he’s a 5-year-old dog. I was teaching exceptional children at an elementary school and working at a climbing gym while Dude was taking naps at home. I’m thru hiking the Appalachian Trail and he’s hiking a section. We both love long walks in the woods and munching on tasty snacks while admiring a scenic view.
