Is that maybe just the camera dude’s dog
Pretty much. I think Phil Edwards made a video not so long ago about hired picture walkers with a camera backpack Google style, and how you can see their specific company branding, usually if you look at the zenith of the image or the straight bottom of it.
Seems like a cool job
Per the article: “The golden retriever is named Maru, and as per KBS News since 2015, he is the only dog of the one resident family in the island. The only other pets are the two cats he lives with.”
An island with no one around but your family, dog, and two cats? Are we sure KBS News didn’t accidentally summarize a fairy tale?
Going for the greatest walk.
looks like another case of people lying on the internet for no reason
Imagine being a dog that gets free roam of an island. That’s a good boy.
Google has snappers taking pictures? Seems like it would be easier to train the dog to do it.
It was for Daum maps, apparently.
Can I get the coordinate?
So Jukdo island is at 37.529° N, 130.938° E. I don’t have the time to check right now cause I have to go to work, I’d love to know if the pics are there.
Edit: this is on Daum maps, not Google maps. And there is a chance they’ve updated it since this was 8 years ago.
Where is that?
