Not at all like poopsniffing

The dog loves his early morning walk. All the new overnight smells, you know? Being a scent hound he puts that nose on the ground and hoovers the lawn like nothing you ever saw- so intent in his sniffing he forgets that the primary purpose of the trip is his morning constitutional, and as often as not is sniffing and wandering even as he drops his morning load. Making it necesary for you to follow at not only a discreet distance but an obtuse angle, lest you trod in fresh dogshit.
