I'm a retired NYS licensed dentist who has had many dogs but am now living with a lady that doesn't appreciate dogs to the level that I do, and I can't have one in her house. I miss the company of a dog and would happily meet and help you with yours. I'd like to walk with your friend and become a new friend to it. I don't mind walking in the rain or snow as I don't melt. I'll dress your dog appropriately if you have a coat for him/her. Most walks average about one-half hour for most dogs unless the weather precludes such a time frame. I need the exercise just as much as the dog does and I look forward to such walks.
