Shimano "A Dog's Tale": Happy Memories of a Trail Dog

26 April 2021 by Andrew Waldera

A Dog's Tale - Shimano Video

Spectrum: It all starts on the trail. The crunching of dirt, the smell of a damp morning drive or the feeling of wiping away stones lying on the ground with a perfectly coordinated stomach scrub. These are the happy memories of Raven, a 13-year-old dog - spectacularly and very entertainingly captured in Shimano's new video.

Raven is a 13-year-old retired trail dog from Squamish, British Columbia who has spent countless days romping around on loamy singletrack under towering spruce trees. But age slows down even the wildest of four-legged friends, and now Raven lies happily in the driveway and watches dog after dog and the people who belong to it on the way to the mountains. Raven celebrates the joys of mountain biking through the eyes of a trail dog. In Shimano's new video, the feisty, four-legged trail personalities show that they all enjoy the mountain bike world in their own way, just like us humans. Have fun watching 🙂
