I have a dog of my own and he is pretty old but still loves to walk. I also just love being outside with animals because most don't get to get out much so I like to take the site seeing a little bit. I was in the NAVY for 5 years and it helped me to see that life goes by pretty quick and when I think on how short a dogs life is then that just tells me I need to live it up twice as much. Even if that just means getting outside or going for a nice longboard ride. I also have a girlfriend that I met while I was in the NAVY and she spent 4 years in and she would be with me most of the time with the dogs.
