It can definitely provide the exercise someone needs too while they walk with a furry friend. What a nice idea.

A really great idea. It will be as good for the seniors as it is the dogs. A win-win situation!

I have wanted to see seniors approached for this for so long. I hope they have a successful campaign.

Yeah that is a very good idea! Can I share a story?

My grandpa who almost passed away from a diabetic attack and just got out of the hospital and was really weak still and of course stubborn decided he was going to take his crazy hyper Boston Bull Terrier for a walk. Well that dog pulled really hard and fast, hes only about 14 lbs., and pulled my grandpa over. He was all messed up from hitting the pavement face first. Many stitches and almost broke his nose. I know this place doesn't have dogs by any means who are like my grandpas Boston but I just thought I would share the story. My stubborn grandpa.

Yeah that's ruff, i am sorry he got hurt. I think there has to be a lot of common sense with this. I certainly would not want to take out a large dog or have to walk far, but i could manage a little one. OR dog sit. THat is what i really wanted to see happen is the dog sitting instead of crate keeping.
