The Understated Joys of Walking Your Dog
John Zeaman, award-winning journalist and author, recently released his book, Dog Walks Man: A Six-Legged Odyssey. During the podcast, I asked John to share with me why he wrote the book about the added benefits he discovered from walking his dog. In addition, he also provided an overview of the book, discussed his background as an art critic and how it helped him to write his book, and what makes a walk with a dog more meaningful than simply walking alone. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the metaphysical joys of walking with your dog, be sure and listen to this episode.
