Proud pooch carries massive log for 14-mile cross-country hike

A proud pooch carried a massive log in his mouth - for 14 miles.

Owner Vanessa Keating, 32, often takes Bryce on long cross-country hikes along the coast of Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

But earlier this month, the six-year-old Golden Labrador decided to take along a big stick and carried it in his mouth for 14 miles.

Funny video shows walkers and cyclists along the popular trail commenting on Bryce 's prized possession.

Vanessa, a seasonal camp host from Anchorage, Alaska, said: "He always finds treasure and insists on bringing it home.

"He usually gets comments from strangers, but he always gets at least a smile or laugh from them.

"We are currently training for our next 2,000-mile journey, and Bryce loves his ‘big walks’"
