Elise Smith has always enjoyed hiking, but it was almost impossible after she became unwell in 2018.
Then she met Lenny, the perfect assistance dog to get her back on (the walking) track. He's a leggy miniature Labradoodle, bursting with confidence and energy.
The pair are preparing to hike the Overland Track in the central highlands of lutruwita/Tasmania. It's a 65-kilometre, six-day trek, through spectacular world heritage forests and exposed environments with changing weather.
Elise shares how she's preparing for the walk with an assistance dog, and what it means to return to hiking. These are her words.
