I really feel for dogs owned by fat people.  I live about 3/4th of a mile from a really nice park which encourages dog walking. Well maintained garbage, bag dispensers, etc. The dogs all love it. So many things to interact with and/or pee on. The only catch is that there's no easy way to get there by driving. So anyone here who wants to get at it has to bear the horror of about an extra mile and a half total waking. Over a large paved path with no concerns about traffic and also equipped for refuse mid-way there.  I've never seen a single fat dog owner around here willing to do it. Not the super obese. Not the lower level obese. Not even the "just overweight" level fats. I think I have a good grasp of the other dog owners around here at this point. And I see the elderly dog owners. The smokers. Even people with pretty severe medical issues down there. Sure, it's always a roll of the dice in terms of scheduling. But at this point I feel like if any of them were actually walking their dogs out there I would have had to run into them at some point.
