Recently retired, found a shelter dog to take home. Gets me out the door and I have lost 26 lbs since February.
Joey sets a stiff pace on dayhikes, likes to investigate anything on the ground, smeller the better. In general is responsible for getting my head out of my ass.

From the perspective of a supervisor, dog owners as a group SEEMED to be more responsible than those without.

Good on you for taking on the challenge of dog ownership. The benefits are more than worth the trouble.
