Everyone knows that one person who always seems to be out and about doing incredible things on work days. But what you might not have known is that those adventures are not exclusive to hoomans, there be doggos in them hills as well.

And doggos galore is what we are here to bring you. These puppers have taken to the great outdoors to spread their wings, to send their spirit soaring, all while paying no mind to the matter of a work week. It could be Tuesday, it could be Saturday, it simply would not matter to these doggos because they are out there to live life and they know that when it comes down to it, the life in our soul does not know days of the week. Which in reality is something we could all stand to learn from, because when our time is up in this world all we are left with is our soul.

So perhaps use this list of wholesome hiking doggos to rethink your approach to life and whether it might be worth to call in sick and take a long weekend to go hiking with your buddies…

Straight up, one of the coolest canines in the game. Heck, not even just the game, the entire world. He looks like he has done this a million times and is a well seasoned veteran of the outdoor lifestyle. A true gruff type who could survive any kind of survivalist situation with nothing more than a length of rope and a lighter. And in this magical moment he is looking off into the middle distance thinking about all the cool and crazy things he has done and how they cumulatively make him the coolest canine around. Just how that one unemployed friend tries to make themselves appear to be…
