This Story Of A Man And His Dog Will Give You Goosebumps

Gaëtan Ugnon-Fleury along with his dogs Pepite and Jolyn were winners of the #MyTrailDog competition run by Salomon Running. Living in a small village of La Motte-d’Aveillans in South East France, Gaëtan's closest friends and fellow trail runners are his two four legged friends. Jolyn’s mother Pepite has been with Gaetan since he was nine, and the two of them share a mutual love for trail running. 

This short video describes how you can find true happiness from those around you. Though you may already realize, happiness has nothing to do with what you own, or your accomplishments, but formed from our relationships with others.

As Gaëtan’s dog Pepite grows older, she has to stay back from some adventures. Though this can be saddening, Gaetan remembers the joy that he has given him over the course of his life. 

The narration of the short video reminds us to enjoy the journey, and always say yes to an adventure. Be playful, take in the beauty that surrounds you, and acknowledge the simplistic existence of things that may not sparkle in the eye of public acclaim. Spend time with the people that you love, and that love you back. Live in the now and don’t take anything for granted. This short is guaranteed to make you give your four legged, furry friend a big old bear hug.
