Discussion: What Do Dogs Really Think About Walks

What do doggos really think when they see you reaching for the collar and leash? This group of Reddit users had a lot to offer when answering this simple, yet intriguing question! Some doggos see every walk as a patrol session, meaning they essentially do a sweep of the neighborhood looking for new and interesting scents, occurrences, people, and just get an updated picture of what's going on in the outside world.

Other doggos see a walk as more of an adventure, with endless possibilities and tons of interesting phenomena to be discovered along the way! Our doggos sure do love to get their noses to the ground and explore all the exciting scents their noses are capable of detecting. Then there are some dogs that avoid walks altogether! When they see the collar and leash coming out.. ruh ro. It's time to pretend I don't exist and hope that the humans won't find me! Let's dive nose first into this interesting discussion!

We've always wondered this, too! What is the purpose of a walk in a doggo's brain? Besides of course being the go to bathroom outlet, doggos are super inquisitive (at least most of them!) and want to explore their surroundings!

You're as useless as ever but I still love ya :)" G Reply 549 ClownfishSoup · 2d Hey human! Why aren't you peeing? I gotta do all the work? 36 Codykun_ · 2d But then dogo angy when you do * 8 {$

We love this concept of walks as adventures! We are like the great explorers of the middle ages, out to discover and conquer new lands! We must mark our territory before the neighbor's dog gets to it!

$Font - NewYearNewYEET • 2d I heard someone say that a dog going on a walk in the neighborhood is the human equivalent to reading the local newspaper - gotta catch up on what's been happening. G Reply 18 3 + Samsquanch1985 · 2d No doubt. And peeing at spots is their equivalent of social media posts. 合5{ Anxiousse · 2d The daily pee mail + Blonde_Vampire_1984 · 2d Wee mail if you're British. ...$
