I have noticed a few things during my walks with my furry clients. The sounds of nature are loud and wonderful, the smells, (oh the smells), the sounds of the traffic, of people going to work and the gym. The one thing that I've come to realize while I'm out there is really, WHO'S WALKING WHO(M)? I mean, it reminds me of that bumper sticker I see-"who rescued who?".
