It's not every day that a simple village dog gets the opportunity to go along with two guidebook authors on a trek to one of the highest peaks on the planet. I didn't paws for long when they came to stay at my lodge. This is the story of my exciting winter expedition to Makalu Base Camp, returning via the little-explored Barun Nadi valley, also known as the Yeti Foot Trail. It was a thrilling experience and I survived. So did they. This tale (or should it be tail?) is aimed at children and grown-up children of all ages. It's for anyone with a slightly mad sense of adventure and the dogged determination to see it through, whatever...
