Discover what dog lovers have known for years! There is no better way to beat back anomie than walking a gregarious puppy thru the concrete canyons of your Urban Oasis.
Skeptical, try this as a social experiment! Be bold, volunteer to walk your neighbours drooling yet loveable French Bull Dog(La Frenchie) or a gregarious Golden Doodle (Golden Retriever/Poodle). It is inevitable that you will discover that the normal rules of social interaction suddenly crumble and Rod Serling ushers you into a lulled Twilight Zone. The world becomes almost instantaneously a more gentle, kinder and more understanding environment.
Now the question remains? What if everyone was to discover this semi-affordable social panacea? What effect would it have upon future Public Policy? Will our political bureaucrats start to design our urban enclaves with dog runs, public pet friendly transit, interconnected walking dog trails, parks designed to be people & pet friendly? This is an eco-friendly way of beating back the burgeoning weight bulge that is besieging all G 8 nations.
Plus it is a certified means of breaking down the growing social barriers that are pervading our urban landscape. Just think how many old & retired people sitting alone at home who would crave the responsibility of walking your pet on daily basis. Everyone no matter how socially awkward thrive when shown attention, even if done by default.
However, presently in places like Toronto’s Liberty Village, there are far too few venues, where your dog can run free & interact with other canines. If you as the owner happen to share a mild alcoholic beverage while waiting with another like-minded dog whisperer, this is just the mere coincidence of being the beneficiary of the aura created by your 4-legged companion.
It is now election season in Canada, seize the moment to boldly ask for the little things that appeal to the greater majority. Request more dog runs, designed trails for dog walkers, bars & restaurants that accommodate dogs. Many European nations have already embraced these concepts, with much social success. Why not us?
Keep in mind; It is not only your future, but the health of your pet and the general health of society at large that would truly benefit from having a more fully integrated interspecies environment, “In an Era dominated by dehumanizing concrete, cyber space and alienation”, here is a frugal answer to all our prayers.
