I had a Golden Retriever who liked to carry her own leash.

Our Chablis would do that and also walk the other dog we had too.

I suspect that had the symbiosis between man and dog never developed, world history would have developed substantially different than it has, and most likely, it would have been worse for the humans, and better for the dogs :-)

I agree. Dogs have been such good friends to me. Sadly, where I live, I can’t get the kind of dog I want. But OH! How I miss the interaction!

Dog walking the dog. I like that.

When I was over in Belgium, I happened to see a small boxer carrying his owner’s purse in the shopping district of Antwerp. I don’t think she had to worry about purse snatchers.
I had my camera with me. It made for a great little video.

And in Brussels there was a dog moocher. He wore glasses and a costume and carried a small bag for collecting people’s donations of coins and Euros. I looked but could not see or figure out who he belonged to.

Even the dogs in Europe are on the dole.

Technically, it said BC mix and we don’t know what the other was.

Curled up to her owner and keeping her warm was Honey, another dog with a similar red leash to Cici’s.

Likely the dogs circled and she tripped on the leashes.
