The Walker (dog version)

Forced to walk by small predator for its amusement

Handles poop on a daily basis, no longer thinks it’s gross

Cannot zone out during walk, must always be aware of surroundings

Active at dawn and dusk, the sidewalk is too hot otherwise

The squirrels fear him and warn each other of his advance

Tries to be friendly, but dog ignores neighbors who want to greet it

Cannot tell you what the podcast they just listened to was about

Sometimes substitutes walk for a visit to a park where their dog will have fun with others while they sit around bored
