Dogs and adventure. Those are really the only two things in life that you need to be happy. And there is one man who has dedicated an entire Instagram page to the adventures that he takes with his dog, an Irish Setter named Troja. Based off the photos, we can only imagine that George Rotan is one of the happiest people alive. For years the man has been going on adventures in the Norwegian wilderness with Troja as his loyal sidekick. Along the way, he’s been meticulously documenting all the adventures with some very stunning photos.
There is no denying that Troja is quite the natural in front of the camera. Not to mention that Troja is arguably giving off some major hashtag hair goals, something that Rotan seems to always manage to capture in his photos of his favorite photography subject. Rotan first set up his Instagram account way back in November 2014. He posted a lot of scenery shots, and some of Troja as well, but it wasn’t until many members of the public began to express their love for Troja’s photos. That is when Rotan switched to making Troja the main focus of his amazing pictures.
Today, Rotan’s Instagram page has 245K followers and has inspired many other adventurers to follow their passions and go on outdoor treks with their dogs. Check out some of Rotan’s pictures of Troja in the gallery below:
