Sometimes, a dog just wants to take him or herself for a walk without a human. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Or maybe they even want to go get a beer or ride on a skateboard or anything – people like different things, so it’s pretty obvious dogs would too.
Whatever the case, we need to let these pooches do their thing because they are independent pups who just need to live their best lives, dammit!
