On Dog Walking ……
A dog walk isn’t just about being out with a friend; it's a harmonious blend of companionship and an immersion in nature. It's a chance to appreciate the beauty of the landscape, taking in the sights, sounds, and scents that surround you as you tread through your chosen path.
"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent." ~ Milan Kundera.
