Trail Dog - Salomon Running TV Season 05 Episode 02

We traveled to the small village of La Motte-d'Aveillans in the South East of France to meet and film with the winner of the #MyTrailDog competition, Gaëtan Ugnon-Fleury and his dogs, Pépite and Jolyn. Our time with them taught us some simple lessons that we often forget in the rush of life. Trail Dog is an ode to the beauty and happiness that can be found in the simplest of things - friendship.

Lost my running pup last month. He was a GWP and he ran with me until his last days. On our last run he stopped. We sat by the river and I knew it was his time. He gave me his last run. It still hurts, missing him. But that's love. That's living.

[@805adventures2]

the hardest thing I've ever been through. hang in there.

[@JustAnotherRunner]

+kearnses my condolences. Running with your dog for years builds a special bond. Sorry for your loss.

[@vinnyhofx]

+kearnses Wow, amazing story

[@okmartinez]

+kearnses Sorry for your loss. Maxi is my 6 yr old Yellow lab running bud. He is my excuse to go out, I don't know how I will cope when he is ready to go.

[@111Gtfo]

That's so sad I'm so sorry

[@christofferpersson9587]

2024 Im still here getting inspired a couple of times every year

[@redissinaimallah8568]

Un grand merci à Gaëtan et sa belle famille Pépite et Jolyn pour ce partage d’émotions !!! Great job Salomon!!!

[@jtg4208]

So grateful for this video and the team that made it happen. Brightens my spirit always.

[@Andrew-on5do]

Whenever I run trails with my dog she very quickly gets sidetracked jumps in the river and has the time of her life at the expense of my pace. But I quickly realize that that's what I should be doing. I love everything about this video. It's beautiful and inspiring.

[@CRneu]

That's what trail running with a dog will teach you: enjoy the experience of being where you are and take in the world around you. Forget your pace, in the end it doesn't matter.

[@AlwaysRunningForward]

This one is their absolute best. All the emotions.

[@JOESOAPify]

Easily one of the most inspiring and most beautiful films I have seen

[@pagalvin1]

This is so good. I keep coming back to watch this, not for motivation or anything but for a solid grounding about what’s important in life

[@mountkeen8701]

Great story. Great video. I miss my dog even though she's been gone 6 years now. I don't mind admitting I teared up watching this

[@guto3321]

Dogs... Blessed creatures. I always carry my dogs over my shoulders and... Its completly awsome.

[@anthonygordon2719]

[@steveohmygoodness7]

Man's best friend.

[@sarabobeldyk4018]

This has been, and continues to be, my favorite and most inspiring video on KZbin. I could go on about why, but if people take the time to watch it and listen to it, they will see. Thank you for always encouraging me to get out on the trails with my pup, even when its raining, to experience the joy of life..the most beautiful way to bring together a human being's love for the earth and the unconditional love and happiness from our four-legged friends. "Love, unconditionally...And shine with all of your light, all of the time."

[@jaybutler9550]

Same I’m always revisiting it and listening. It’s humbling and inspirational. Definitely a grounding video

[@DeniM-cv2ro]

Threes years & still watch this. It’s one of the best short movies I have ever seen 👌

[@robey263]

I go see all the banff films each year and this will always be my favorite!. I've probably watched it 50 times and still love it like the first time I saw it.

[@DCCH21]

I love it. I see it a lot of times. "Live in the moment"

[@sarabobeldyk4018]

@@DCCH21 Yes!! 💚

[@BoIrik88]

This is it. Happiness in it purest state.

[@Thebrowndogcafe]

This video reminds me of my own search for truth. An inspiration for total living an authentic life. A song of hope. Listen closely.

[@jtg4208]

Still my favourite video

[@geetee4037]

[@Andrew-on5do]

It really is an amazing video.

[@davidball5709]

Me too. Must have watched it 20+ times!

[@dafyddia]

What breed are these?

[@GENQC]

This went from the happiest video to the saddest video to the most inspirational video I have ever seen. Amazing.

[@JustAnotherRunner]

+GENQC It was a roller coaster of emotions for sure!

[@okmartinez]

+GENQC I agree with you! As I watched this video I had my dog next to me and I was shedding a tear thinking that eventually he will slow down... and then who will be my side kick on my runs and bike rides? ;( very inspirational: "Live in the moment" I guess.

[@miscellaneous_scapes8406]

Couldn't help but finding myself watching this again. I can't believe this hasn't hit millions of views. One of the all time greats.

[@marcqe]

Like most dogs they have it figured out, Happiness is so much simpler than you might think. Real happiness is uncomplicated by rush of life, how much money you have or dont have, what you have or haven't accomplished and is beyond what you feel good or guilty about. It is about our relationships with the earth, nature and each other. Always go for a run even if it is raining. Enjoy the journey never forget to play and feel the joy of life. Jump for joy when you're happy. Surround yourself with the people you love. Live in the moment, have boundless energy. Listen more than you talk, but when you do talk speak from the heart. It's never too late to learn. Look for the best in everyone and be loyal. Love unconditionally and shine with all of your light, all of the time. You're Welcome. ;)

[@vijayhembrom9644]

Thank you ! I was just looking for this...😄

[@JustAnotherRunner]

AHHHHH! This one gives you the feels if you have a dog!!! Dogs are the best running buddies. "Always go for a run even when it's raining, enjoy the journey, never forget to play, and feel the joy of life."

[@Turnschuhheizer]

+Just Another Runner as i saw the totle of this episode i first thought of you ! :D

[@JustAnotherRunner]

+Turnschuhheizer hahaha that's awesome. I loved this one. I'm glad you thought of me!

[@rustynail5691]

I'm crying again

[@danniboy75]

4 minutes of perfection. Not over talked nor over inspired narrative. Just nailing the most key fundamentals to a good REAL life... The problem with a lot of videos like this is most people cannot do these things so, to much inspiration can be a bummer for some...you have to pick your message wisely. I'm a true runner, I get it...however, I cannot always show the videos I love to people because there's usually somebody droning on a about bigger,better, faster, stronger, while running through the Alps! That never helps my friends who are overweight and broke, although they (all) humans can relate to wisdom.

[@daneliaz3643]

this just made me cry. What a beautiful video. I love my dogs, and I love running. One of my dogs is now a little older and she cannot keep up anymore, but oh man, the lakes we have bathed in, and the valleys we have witnessed. If this is not the true definition of happiness, then I dont know what is. Shine with all your light, godspeed.

[@stuartschwartz234]

listen more than you talk.

[@rzombi666]

Make's me sad to think our beloved best friends can't around longer to share our lives. Dogs give us unconditional love and loyalty but can only spend a few years with us where as most humans who wouldn't give you the time of day stay with you like a bad rash. It's a shame.

[@bravae]

This video makes me feel something that i can't explain. Thanks for this beautiful video!

[@mikederas8530]

Wow. It suddenly got really dusty in here... I need a moment.

[@carlduffin633]

I lost my running companion Barley at 14 to cancer just last June and I miss him so much. Like Pépite, he taught me to just "be". Missed forever; never replaceable. Thank you for triggering some memories - and some tears. edit: went out for a woodland run for 30 minutes; the first run again in - ten years - good to feel Barley by my side again. Always there in spirit.

[@MaureenDunnJoieDeVivre]

This entire piece from Gaeton, Pepite, Jolyn to the professionals who put this exquisitely, meaninful short video together; Christian Denslow, Dean Leslie, Greg, Hannah, and Dean, etc., Superb!

[@rgonzales1657]

I'm stopping at the side of the road right now, finding reduced motivation to train for a half marathon. Just have to pull up and watch this and remember why I love running...

[@noraaf8671]

Just keep it up. And good luck for your half marathon

[@rgonzales1657]

Patrick Galvin A padawan can only do so much.

[@rgonzales1657]

Completed my 2nd half marathon yesterday and I made it less than 30 seconds before cut off time! "Pleasure is the child of pain" indeed!

[@MarkyM1912]

This is one of the most beautiful and poetic films I’ve ever seen. Since losing my dog last year this film is now even more poignant. I will never tire of watching this

[@MobilePW]

I LOVE this video on so many counts - beautiful cinematography, message, music …. and so true

[@robey263]

I first saw this at the Banff time festival and can't seem to stop watching it. I feel like the whole world should see this and embrace it! Great job on filming this.

[@alejandrocolmenero4271]

Simply amazing ! What breed are the dogs ? anyone knows ?

[@FatRoxor]

The dogs are Border collie mix Pyrenean Shepherd :)

[@JustinDearham]

makes me appreciate the time I get to spend with my cody on the trails

[@carbonpictures]

the BEST video I have seen in the last 10 years. I have been debating getting a dog to run with, this answers my concerns. n

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

you must get one as they are ever enthusiastic on the days you're not. I have a german shepherd and he's the best running partner ever.

[@user-ro7rt1be5n]

Did you get one?

[@umagumma26]

love this video.. love my dogs..

[@vitorquintao]

"Enjoy the journey, never forget to play and feel the joy of life." Amazing!! I just got my first dog 2 weeks ago, and I plan to go trail running with she!! Let's do it!

[@paddypower2553]

Once again another inspirational video Salomon, videos like this makes me proud to say I'm a trail runner and also a dog owner. Never stop making videos like this, the simple things in life such as going for a trail run, is what life is all about.

[@JustAnotherRunner]

+Paddy Power Well said my friend!

[@sarabobeldyk4018]

Still my favorite video out there for the world to see....everything said in this should be everyone's words to live by, and the world would be a better place.

[@giuseppecancemi8686]

Moi aussi j'ai ma fidele amie de trail e de toujours, Zoe . Cette video est fantastique!

[@GingerPhotographer]

I have a Cocker Spaniel - She loves running along side me!

[@6Eternal9]

Cinematography ❤️, cinematic experience, fantastic workdone by DOP

[@newfoundmoralclarity]

Trail running with your dog is literally the best thing in the world and I'm definitely not crying

[@arturosanchez4835]

This is one of my favorite videos I ever seen, six years ago my son recommended to me. Maybe because I enjoyed a lot to run in every time I finish raising I always thanks God, Don’t ask me why but this week I had an attack off hip and couldn’t got out, Finally after a Medical treatment the hip is gone thank God, the views in this video The story, the Tom Rosenthal’s music. Since My son recommended me this video once in a while I watch it besides I like. I like dogs but this one I remember with sadness , he used to run together he was so smart, I never had to taught To use A leash. Les I have to say that I identify with this guy in his solitude even though is not my case but most of the time I enjoy running alone and I calling it my running meditation.🎉

[@littleredsproutingkate]

I wasn’t sure whether to take my aging pup along for an ultra and watching this made me decide. Thanks for the inspiration! 🐾❤️

[@carlosbarinaga6869]

Salamon has amazing videos but this one is special, beautiful!, I also always train with my dogs...

[@saschastrothmann5335]

It's realy right. Showed the vidto my dogs. They answered: give us trail. So it's my turn 😁

[@antoniagreen1108]

Merci pour cette superbe vidéo ! Et encore plus émue quand je me rends compte par hasard que je suis originaire de la même région. Belle continuation :)

[@rustydaines6859]

I miss my dog...best trail buddy I could've ever hoped for.

[@MandyDrex]

Absolutely love this video. Running and dogs, two of my favorite things! The range of emotions I felt watching this and the powerful messages were perfection. Gorgeous scenery as well. I want to run there!

[@mickeykreg]

[@w.supertramp]

Me encanta correr con mis compañeros de cuatro patas, me encanta el trail, amo la naturaleza.
