On May 1, 2010, my dog Hobbes and I joined over 10,000 animal lovers and 5,000 pets for the Animal Humane Society’s Walk for the Animals in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The past two years I had a booth. This year I chose not to, and it was fun to see the event from the other side.
Hobbes really impressed me as he calmly accepted all the animals and people. When a very large Bernese mountain dog marched right up to his face, Hobbes barked once to tell the dog he was not very polite. Using his TTouch® step-in-harness and leash, he was the perfect walking companion. Before the walk started, a cat laid down only inches away. Although Hobbes sniffed the cat, I don’t think he realized it was a cat because he didn’t see its face. After the 5 mile walk, Hobbes and I were happy to go home and take a nap.
