The Dog That Waited With Me in Engelberg
There’s a photo I never posted: me, sitting on a cold bench in Brunni, Engelberg, Switzerland, next to a mountain dog who wandered over and stayed. I was supposed to be hiking, chasing views, but instead I just sat there, boots muddy, feeling like a tourist in my own head. The dog didn’t care if I made it to the summit or not. He just wanted to sit, maybe hoping for a snack, maybe just keeping me company.
Sometimes the best part of a trip isn’t the scenery or the stories you plan to tell. It’s the quiet, unremarkable moments—like sharing silence with a stray, both of us waiting for something we can’t name.
