Here in the West dog walking is a kind of job! For all apparent reasons it is to exercise the dog. Given the fact that the dog lives indoors with the family, and the house may not have a large outhouse where it can run and play about, the dog needs to be taken out for a walk, not just to stretch its legs but also to relieve itself. As such it is a task to be carried out everyday. Some places people are employed to do this task, because the family members are too busy to do it!
That said, there is another angle to it too. This whole phenomena is not just because the dog needs it. The real need or reason for all this and is more and more the case, today that it is an exercise for the ones at home! Not the dog. The dog is only the excuse or the one blamed! Dog walking is today being promoted as an exercise for the young people, especially students!! A sort of stress-buster!
Now that's called dog days!
