Chopper, weighing 10 kilograms, is called "Vietnam's most accomplished mountain-climbing dog" by his owner, Nguyen Thi Ha Mai, 36. Mai began taking Chopper on hikes in 2022 when she felt he was robust enough for the challenge.

Mai, an avid hiker, had to leave Chopper in kennels during her trips, causing him stress and illness. Once Chopper was physically ready, Mai decided to bring him along to ensure he lives a happy and adventurous life.

In April 2023, Chopper joined his owner to climb Nam Kang Ho Tao Mountain, which is 2,900 meters high, in Lao Cai Province.

According to Mai, Chopper enjoys hiking even more than she does. Whenever he sees her packing, he excitedly jumps around. After conquering each peak, Chopper often sits down with a happy expression, Mai said.

Chopper loves exploring and marking his path, making him a reliable guide on the way back. Mai mentioned that following Chopper prevents getting lost, recounting two occasions when ignoring his directions led to getting lost and having to retrace their steps. Chopper also enjoys posing for photos with hikers, endearing him to everyone he meets.
