Whether teacup or giant, sleek or fluffball, (wo)man\u2019s best friend is always the greatest part of the trip. From tongue-out trail runs to how-is-that-comfortable crag-side snoozes, our furry family members are essential to wilderness play.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we invited Loki the Wolfdog<\/a> and his human Kelly to take over our Weekend Project.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of him entering into my world, I felt like I had to listen closely and enter into his world \u2026 I decided that I would do everything possible to not leave him behind at the house \u2026 By sharing my adventures with Loki, I hope that we are inspiring people to get out, explore their world, and make memories with their pups.\u201d \u2013 Kelly Lund, Loki\u2019s best friend<\/p>\n

Following their lead, our Instagram community stepped up to the challenge to take your dog outside. Because honestly, is there anyone else you\u2019d rather #OptOutside with? Here are a few of our favorites:<\/p>\n
