I took care of my friends dog for 2 years he was a Siberian husky who loved to run around in the snow and had tons of energy...my friend was older and she could no longer take her dog on walks and give her the full attention she needed ..he was about 7 years old and every time I came to walk him he would be at the door waiting for me,always anticipating the walk and the doggy treats!! I love to hike with dogs..or just go for a nice walk with them. The husky was very smart and everytime we got close to the park ..he would perk up..almost like he smelt it in the air.. I also used to walk another dog. And he was a sheep dog., older but full of energy. I loved the walks in the morning with him.
