Scout was a dog that followed us from the 3rd day
of our trekking expedition. We didn’t know her name, but she was always walking
just ahead of us like a little scout. Scout would follow us over 2 days, over
30km. She didn’t know where we’re going, nor when we will rest. Neither does
she know whether there will be food for her. Nevertheless, she chose to follow
us on our adventure through the bushes, which also became her adventure. She
was as part of the watch as anyone else. Scout wasn’t a young dog anymore, the
big tumour she carries on her belly hints of her old age. Perhaps she knows she
does not have long to live, so she decided to live like everyday is her last,
to the fullest. She also shivers at night after the sun has set, braving the
cold like the rest of us. She reminds me of the famous quote by Helen Keller,
“Life is either a Daring Adventure or Nothing At All”.
This is the Outward Bound dog named Scout.
