When a Street View mapper was tasked with capturing a remote South Korean island that has only two residents, they probably didn’t expect much company on their journey.

Leading the photographer on a trail that runs around the island, the dog never strayed too far away and as a result it can been seen in almost every. single. image.

The photographer – who was working for Daum, a South Korean Google-esque platform – set out to capture images around the island of Jukdo, a tiny but idyllic landscape just off the larger island of Ulleungdo, South Korea.

As the photographer made their way along the rural paths, taking in the lush green landscapes and sweeping sea views, they couldn’t help but capture the pooch whom was hot on their heels.
