Dog on Ulleung-do Island Photo Bombs Street View Mapping Software

Ulleung-do is one of my favorite places in South Korea, but unfortunately the last time I was there I did not get my own personal guide dog:

Oftentimes, the best way to describe directions to someone is to explain using street view technology, so you can use notable landmarks as cues for turns and stops. While Google Maps has been pretty good at covering a large part of the world, it’s certainly missing one useful component: a helpful guide dog who photobombs every shot along the way.

At least that’s one competitive advantage for Daum, a Kakao-owned web portal, for its coverage in Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk, South Korea. Map services often employ human photographers to capture off-road images, and it appears this very good dog has decided to accompany just about every shot along the trail on this little South Korean island.

Need help finding that lookout point over the beautiful blue ocean? Sure, follow doggo up the stairs and hang when you’ve found the area with the wooden benches.  [The Verge via Reddit Korea]

You can read more at the link, but looking at the pictures this dog is actually on the neighboring island of Jukdo and not Ulleongdo.

And what happens when someone eats the dog?

“And what happens when someone eats the dog?”

Instead of Street View, it can be seen at Suggested Restaurants.
