Anyhow, I would advise us all to observe the dog a little more closely. He's so stubborn, that, sometimes, when you're walking him, he just stops to smell a flower, or whatever, and you want to continue your walk because it's perfectly reasonable to continue walking because it optimizes the "time of the walk", but, more than often, the pause is an important one, in ways that we will never really understand.
Consider the off-trail walk with an unleashed dog, running ahead of you, pridefully returning with a token glympse of what lie on the trail ahead of you; "shall I not, run, on the trail we walk, together, man-Jesus-God, my very, best friend?"
