How they must wish their heartless owner would keep them company when they run...
In this modern world, where people sue at the merest grievance, and Governments legislate the fun out of everything, my baby puppies lead a very protected life.
Every morning we go to a local sporting ground, which is fenced, and they play with other dogs, chase swallows and generally terrorise the neighbourhood. All within a secure fence.
I wander round for a couple of km worth of revolutions. They run faster, but are always within 100 metres of me.
In the afternoons, we go for a wander on the golf course that I live next to. I don't complain about golfers, they don't complain about my 47 kh and 38 kg baby puppies. They would do about 4-5 km, with me trudging behind over 2-3 km.
These are Irish Setters. They do not trudge along with their owners. They leap, they play, they gambol, they gallop. They are genetically engineered for independence, and it shows
