Here is my entry for the #monomad contest by @brumest and
@monochromes.
People who enjoy taking a walk don’t always do so alone with their thoughts. I confess that this is something I often do, and it makes me feel really good. In fact, I think it’s very therapeutic—in my case—to be able to spend that brief moment just talking to myself.
One thing is certain: if we want to get somewhere quickly, we can’t go alone, but if we want to go further, we can only do so by walking with someone by our side.
Many of us choose another person to share the walk with and exchange thoughts, but often dogs are not only our best companions but also our faithful guardians of health.
There are dogs and humans to suit every taste. The bond between an owner and their pet is unique. There’s a bond that unites them, regardless of how they show it.
