Dog hiking refers to a form of hiking in which dogs travel alongside their owners.
Several companies manufacture packs (often similar in appearance to mule or donkey side bags) in various sizes, so that the dogs may carry their own food and/or bowls. If the dog is employed to carry food or supplies belonging to the human hikers, it is referred to as a storage dog, (not to be confused with a guide dog or service dog).
There are many places in the world where one can go hiking with dogs. For example, it is a common pastime for locals in Cape Town, South Africa to walk/ jog on the many trails on Table Mountain and the adjacent mountains.
