Their Waterfall Trip Was a Disaster… Until a Dog Showed Up
By Gabriele Tancredo Stella in Dogs
You know those lazy days when a friend invites you on a trip, saying it’ll be amazing, but it turns out... not so much? Well, that’s what happened to Charlles Vinicyus.
What saved him and his three friends from this wild ordeal was what they found along the way: a very friendly mixed-breed dog.
The plan was simple: the four friends would hop in the car and go “hunting” for a waterfall on the outskirts of Pitangui, Minas Gerais, Brazil. So far, so good, right? For adventure lovers, it sounded like the perfect trip.
But as with every adventure, challenges soon appeared—starting with the scorching sun which, as Charlles joked in his hilarious video, “was one sun per person.”
Another challenge? They couldn’t reach the waterfall by car, which meant leaving the comfort of the AC behind and continuing the journey on foot.
Yep… You want to go into the woods? Then you’ve got to walk, haha.
And if that wasn’t enough, one of the friends was pregnant—and still took on the challenge of hiking to a waterfall in the heat.
After exploring the woods in search of the waterfall, the group finally found it—and along the way, a little dog who stole the show.
In an interview with Amo Meu Pet (our Brazilian website about pet news), Charlles said he believes the smiling, chubby mutt likely belongs to someone from the area or perhaps to another hiker, as the pup had a collar and was very friendly.
“I fell in love with the dog. When we arrived, he was already there. We gave him food—he was very gentle. He laid down and slept near us. Later, we left, and when other people arrived, the dog was still there,” he explained.
Charlles is an animal lover who has rescued both cats and dogs. About the video, he said: “I thought the response was really cool. A lot of people related to what happened.”
The funny narrated video racked up over 1.3 million views, 106,000 reactions, and thousands of hilarious comments.
“Crying with laughter at this narration,” declared one internet user.

With friends like these, you’re never bored—or sad. Haha!
