A book filled with the beautiful nature of our country, perfect for traveling with your dog!
Korea's only trekking guide for dogs, "Trekking on Four Feet"

Many pet owners dream of going on a trekking trip into nature with their dogs.
However, it is not easy to track with a pet dog in Korea.
Most popular national parks and recreation forests prohibit dogs altogether, and other popular trails are always crowded, making it difficult to bring your dog along.
However, if you try to find a trail that is not crowded, the course is often too rough or the road is not well maintained, making it unsuitable for dogs.


This book is for those who want to create happy memories with their dogs in beautiful nature.
Based on the author's many years of experience with his golden retriever, Janggun, he compiled a book with 50 domestic trekking destinations perfect for dogs.
We introduce travel destinations for all four seasons, including great spots for viewing spring and fall flowers and autumn foliage, valleys recommended as summer retreats, and places where you can enjoy clean snow in winter.
In addition, it also offers themed travel destinations such as sea of ​​clouds, car camping, and island travel destinations.


This book describes the experiences seen and felt during the trip from the general's perspective, allowing readers to plan their trip from the perspective of their dog.
Although it is an essay, it has a practical nature by adding location information, course guidance, and trekking tips.
The preparations needed to trek with a companion dog are also described throughout Chapter 1.
This can be said to be the only trekking guide for companion dogs in Korea.

Six years have passed since the footsteps of General and I, who walked along the Jungnangcheon embankment, began on the Jeju Olle Trail and continued all over the country, and even to the Tour de Mont Blanc in Europe and the great nature of the Dolomites.
When I think back to the first time I walked the Jeju Olle Trail, I vividly remember the hardships I and Janggun went through on that journey without any preparation or plan.
At that time, I was not familiar with tracking and did not know what to prepare for tracking with a dog.
(When we first started out, it was difficult to find information about dog-friendly trekking in Korea.) I think anyone who dreams of trekking with their dog now is probably facing the same difficulties we faced six years ago.
So, I decided to write a guidebook to help you experience the joy of trekking with your furry friends.

--- From the author's note

I sat next to my sister who was modeling for a while and sitting on the castle wall.
One day, my older sister told me that the sunset she sees and the sunset I see are not the same.
The colors that humans can see are different from the colors that dogs can see.
But I like sunsets anyway.
I really like this moment where I'm sitting side by side with my butt pressed against my sister.

--- From "The Sunset We See Together at Jukjusanseong Fortress"

Located just 4 kilometers from the Military Demarcation Line, you can feel the tranquil breath of nature.
No cars, no lights, no noise, no pollution will disturb you.
My sister and I sat side by side on the hillside, our butts pressed against each other, and watched the setting sun.
I thought as I felt my sister's hand stroking the back of my head.
I'm so happy.

But even if you don't necessarily want to cross Daegwallyeong, the Daegwallyeong Old Road is a great place to walk.
It is a great place for walking not only in the fall when the leaves are colored, but also in the summer when the valley flows and the deep green forest is lush.
It's also fun to walk on the snow in the winter when it's piled up.
Because there is a lot of snow in Daegwallyeong!

Summer, when it's hot and exhausting even when you're still, seems like a very difficult season for animals with long hair like us.
Even the walks that used to be enjoyable every day have become a chore.
Evening walks are never easy, let alone sunny days.
The asphalt gets heated up during the day and radiates heat, making it too hot for us short people.
So today I'm going to introduce you to the Kalbongsan Forest Road, which is a perfect summer walking destination.
You can walk along the first-class Gyeongban Stream, so even friends who love water like me, or those who are afraid of water, can enjoy a cool walk.

You don't know how much fun it is to go for a walk when it snows.
You can walk on the crisp snow, and if you get hot while running, you can roll around in the snow to cool down.
But in the city we live in, even when it snows, it quickly turns black and dirty.
I like eating snow, but my older sister won't let me eat it because it's bad for your health.
They even sprinkle calcium chloride on the snow to prevent it from freezing, so if we walk around barefoot, we might hurt our feet.
So, my older sister takes me to Gangwon-do in the winter.
There's a lot of clean snow there, so you can eat as much snow as you want.
You can go sledding and have snowball fights with your sister.

On the way, I met a lot of men and women who were hiking, and they all went crazy saying that I was cute wearing the glasses and bag.
If you're a friend who often hears unpleasant things because you're big like me, I think it would be a good idea to equip yourself with a cute weapon.

Seonjaryeong has a different smell in each forest.
There are various trees such as pine, fir, birch, oak, and oak forming a grove, so the background is constantly changing, so you won't get bored even if you walk along the forest path for hours.

Furry friends like us can't enter national parks with our families.
So, places like Bukhansan and Dobongsan are like pie in the sky to us.
But my sister always finds a way for me.
Today, thanks to my older sister, I went to a mountain where I could see the beautiful rock ridge of Bukhansan Mountain at a glance.

--- From "Nogosan Mountain, where you can see Bukhansan Mountain instead of Bukhansan Mountain"

You have to climb the steep, slippery slope, carefully walking on wooden steps buried in the snow.
The climb was too long to climb in one breath, so I decided to take my time and catch my breath.
Sitting next to a lone tree that adds to the charm of the mountain, I waited for a moment for my older sister, panting and struggling to climb the hill.

When I opened my eyes the next day, thankfully I was in very good condition.
I stretched and walked around, waiting for my sister to finish cleaning up.
When morning came, my sister seemed to have more peace of mind and her steps seemed lighter.
But if I leave it to my older sister like I did yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to get out of the valley by today.
I found the trail by following the scent of a group of hikers who had come up the night before.
As I climbed the steep road, my speed doubled.
