Some technology is good – soap, medicine, plumbing. Some technology is bad – bombs, television, crack. But most is like the Jog a Dog. It is useless. And it involves paying to do something that you can do for free.
Walking your dog has been free since the days of the caveman. And it makes your dog happy. I once knew a dog named Captain who would get so excited by ‘walkies’ that he’d hump his owner’s cowboy boots. That’s a happy dog.
I just can’t picture Captain getting that excited over a jaunt on this treadmill. Not only because he’s been dead for five years but because treadmills are boring. There’s nothing to sniff, no one to meet and nothing to do. Just like a human treadmill, this takes something fun, like a walk to the pub, and turns it into exercise. Screw that. Just leave your dogs in peace.

It wasn’t walkies. Walkies was what London, the poo eating dog, also several years dead, liked to do. Captain merely liked to “go for a walk”. All the rest is true. He also pooped out a sock once.

Good thing London wasn’t there. She probably would have choked on it.
