If you hike the Pinnacle Trail in Stowe, there is a chance you may get an escort ... or two.

Baylor and Sampson, two golden retrievers who live near the trail off Pinnacle Road, have shown up in many Instagram posts — the two dogs have their own hashtag #stowepinnacledogs. They've been captured on the 3.7-mile trail, greeting hikers at the 1,600-foot summit and resting on the lookout rock, tongues out.

The two dogs have become somewhat of a local legend, referred to as the 'Pinnacle Dogs' on social media posts.
