That's because dogs demand to be walked. I have a Labrador Retriever that demands his daily walk. I'm very active myself so it works great. He is also a bird dog so we hunt a lot in the fall.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
