The Trekking Dogs
These are the two dogs that follow trekkers up Bukit Tabur.
Both are very hard working generally.
Especially the female brown dog, she will accompany trekkers up until the Location of Second Rope in Bukit Tabur. The white spotted black dog doesn't do it all the time.
For us as regulars, the brown dog had many times, waited patiently for us at the Second Rope to back trek from the end of Bukit Tabur ( Carpet Grass ) and accompany us until we reached the foothill.
Our observation shows that they might not have one owner who takes care of them, but as stray or they belong to the mechanics who operate motor workshops at the foothill.
The white male dog has bitten a girl last week coz he was aggrevated.
These two dogs will normally lead trekkers up Bukit Tabur, but at other point they will sit quietly and observe trekkers pass by and follow from behind after all the trekkers has trek passed them.
Reading some bloggers who blogs on Bukit Tabur, mentioning these two dogs by many different names, kind of makes me wonder whether they will be confused with the different dog names given by different trekkers.
The purpose of mentioning these two dogs in this Bukit Tabur blog is to bring awareness to trekkers, that we ought to be kind to the dogs.
From our experience, both are very tamed, and can be very sweet in nature. No doubt they are stinky, guess nobody baths them is the reason.
Let's be kind to them.
While we do not advocate against animal cruelty here, be very kind in treating them is a right thing to do.
There are some trekkers kick them hard and they almost fell off the cliff.

but they are other dog lovers, put a dog collar on one, and feed them with canned food etc...
I am fascinated by the behaviour of these two dogs. and wonder how they come down the cliff.

Once I had an opportunity to watch from the opposite mountain range at the First Rope and observed how one of them came down.
Capturing them in pictures that i will look again and again and marvel at the dog's skill in climbing without going through dog training.
It's just so marvellous how they do it.

For these two dogs who trek Bukit Tabur, rarely you will hear them bark or purposely go near to you, just like they kind of understand sniffing is not allowed on some.
Only twice we heard the female brown dog barked, once it was at a huge monkey at the Second Rope Location, which we have never seen before in the years we trek in Bukit Tabur.
And another time the brown dog was barking at the hissing snake that camoflourged on the branches, probably alerting us to be careful.
Let us all be kind, be very very kind, be kind to them.
