It soon became a game as Franklin took to hiding on their daily walks and Looney began photographing her hidden hound and sending the snaps to her friends.
Eventually Looney created a Facebook page where she shares her pictures.
Throw Back Thursday to Franklin's very first hiding photo FOUR YEARS ago! Can you believe it's been that long?!?

Four years on they have more than 12,000 followers and are still enjoying the game.
Looney told The Dodo that "it has gotten more complex, so I often do show him where to hide now, but he fully understands the game and never misses an opportunity to peek around a tree or out from under a bush."
In fact, she says, he even "waits until he hears the camera click!"
Franklin is now quite the expert as you can see... or can you?
Such wonderful fall weather we are having in Northern California! We've actually had rain! Franklin and I had fun splashing in puddles on our hike (and of course playing some hide-and-seek!)
