After a long hike on Friday (August 7), Lynx, the eight-month-old NAID (Native American Indian Dog) puppy, gets comfortable on his doting dad's shoulder as they drive back home in Telluride, Colorado.

"He loves to cuddle both mom and dad (and grumpy sister Khyber), he is only eight-months-old," his owner said. "It may not look like a great spot to rest but there's no better spot to rest his sleepy head than on his doting dad."

Both Lynx and his sister have an Instagram page @colorado_khyber, where their followers can see the many talents both have, including Lynx saying 'I love you.'
