Dog walking is the act of a person walking with a dog, typically from the dog's residence and then returning. Leashes are commonly used for this. Both owners and pets receive many benefits, including exercise and companionship.

Dogs are restrained by a collar around their neck or a Harness, or by simply following their guardian with familiarity and verbal control. Commonly, the dog is walked by the guardian or another family member, but there are also professional dog walkers.

Dog owners can also go hiking with their dogs. Many trails mandate that the dogs are on leash, in view of the dogs' safety and safety of other hikers.
A study by Michigan State University showed that people who walk their dogs are 34% more likely to meet expected levels of exercise, with a recommended level of 150 minutes of activity such as dog walking per week. Matthew Reeves, the co-author of the study said, "There is no magic bullet in getting people to reach those benchmarks but walking a dog has a measurable impact."

Research conducted by the University of Western Australia has suggested that a higher rate of dog walking within a community tends to cause more interpersonal relationships within that community. The research suggested that people in the community would acknowledge and greet other people in the street, and exchange favors with neighbors, which could possibly encourage more exercise in the community, by giving pets and owners a chance at a healthier lifestyle.

So I took my non-dog for a walk.

Nice to read and see!

An amusing anecdote.  So are you going to call the Pocket2 Rover from now on?

Beautifully done Droffarc.    Speaking of dog walking, the below are not exactly meeting the requirements you listed.

This guy seems to be up for the challenge.

Which begs the question: If a man can walk dogs, how many dogs can a man walk before he becomes a walkover.

I like the one on the treadmill   - safety first, you know.

I thought you might get a laugh out of those.  Have a great day Droffarc.

We have a lot of it here.  Apparently the Romans introduced it during the occupation.
