1) Dogs have a soul, and they need to get out of the house too
2) The coffee shop is only 100 yards away
3) Wife needs you to get out of her face
4) While walking you can let your brain concentrate on simple things like "Should I let him poop there?" or "Will that car run over him?" rather than complicated things like "What's the legal implications of that particular issue which is still unresolved with those [expletive] [expletives] which I can't really do anything about since the [expletive] situation is out of my control, but the shit will rain down on me if I don't cover my ass, so I better figure out a back up plan just in case it doesn't go the way the lawyers think. [expletive]."
5) Your dog has a chance to meet other dogs
6) You have a good reason for not having to talk to anyone on your mobile because everyone understands that dog walking is down time
7) You don't have a computer in front of you
8) You can whistle, spit, scratch ass, pick nose, burp, fart, talk to yourself, stop and look at nothing, without creating alarm
9) You begin to realize that having the time to do things like walking a dog is precious
10) One day you might be a dog
