It's always felt curative, walking the dogs... I've felt many a problem solved in the quiet, steady transmissions through a leash. if having a child is like watching your heart walk around outside your body, then walking a dog is like walking your heart. In walking dogs, my heart endures. There is the satisfaction of offering them something so pleasurable to them, but it's also being witness to it, observing them from the inside out like a field scientist making a rapt note of how a dog transcribes a road.

It doesn't matter if we are walking the dogs or if the dogs are walking us. The point is spending time together. Unless you're doing the yo-yo trick "walking the dog" in which case, that's cool. I could never do that trick.
