A black Labrador in a light blue harness lies on the rocky summit of Bismarck Peak, facing a sweeping view of the South Cascades. In the distance, a hiker in a helmet and blue shirt sits quietly, taking in the vast wilderness. Wildflowers dot the rocky foreground under a hazy pale blue sky.

A black Labrador in a light blue harness lies on the flat, rocky summit of Bismarck Peak in the William O. Douglas Wilderness, with Mount Aix visible in the background. The dog pants with its tongue out, resting among scattered alpine heather and wildflowers, surrounded by jagged mountain ridges beneath a hazy pale blue sky.

O.M.G., I shrunk my hiker.
