Internet Goes Wild For Poster Offering ‘Free Dog Walking’ Because ‘Dogs Are Sick’

When petless Patrick Drennan threw together a poster offering to walk local dogs for free, he didn’t expect it to become a viral sensation.

The poster, which features a drawing of a fairly rotund pooch, outlines his desire to spend a bit of time with a pup. It reads:

“Can I walk your dog? Free dog walking. Just want to hang out with a dog for a bit.

“Nothing weird, just think dogs are sick.”

Well, as long as it’s nothing weird. [Facebook]

Drennan, who is from Melbourne, Australia, was in Mount Hotham when the urge to dog-walk took him.

His enterprising note was spotted and posted on social media, where it has been shared and liked thousands of times.

Drennan is yet to achieve his dream of walking a dog, but has managed to pet a poodle. He’s also had several offers, including one offer to walk a Golden Retriever called Golden Boy once he’s back in Melbourne.
