Dog walkers, misnomer.

Everyday I see people and dogs go by.  Normally its called 'taking the dog for a walk'.  I'm sorry but that appears to be quite incorrect.  It, percentage wise from my viewpoint, should be 'taking the human for a run'.  This tends to exclude extremely large dogs like the lovable 'Newfie', thank heavens.  They know the damage they could cause their owners if by chance they were fascinated by squirrels.  Little dogs, on the other hand, show little regard for the person they are walking (on a leash of course).  Their small stature and weight are life saving to the human at the back end of the leash.  One or the other needs more training.  I hope the 'adults' figure it out soon......................marge
