Did you know…

Dogs can sweat through their paws.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Some dogs dream of wide-open fields and rolling hills. Not Lucifer, a city-raised golden retriever from Copenhagen. When his owners took him to the countryside, they expected curiosity and excitement. Instead, they got a dog who took one look at a cornfield and decided he’d had enough.

Lucifer, who usually roams busy sidewalks, loves the outdoors—as long as it comes with neatly paved paths and predictable surroundings. The moment his paws touched unfamiliar terrain, he made it clear: this was not the life for him. His reaction, captured on TikTok, showed him pausing, turning, and hurrying back to safety as if saying, “Nope, take me home.”

His city roots run deep. He avoids puddles, prefers structured spaces, and enjoys wrestling on the floor more than roughing it in nature. But no matter where he goes, one thing remains true—he’s happiest when he's with his humans.

Meet Lily and Cookie, two adorable Havanese besties with a love for belly rubs and cow ears! Lily, a 9-year-old black and white pup with a fancy Hungarian passport, brings international flair to the friendship, while Cookie, a 4-year-old tan and white cutie from Kentucky, keeps things fun and playful. Whether they’re lounging side by side or begging for treats, these two are inseparable!

Most of us think of dog walks as a way to get from point A to point B, but for our pups, it’s all about the journey.

Dogs experience the world through their noses, and when we rush them along, they miss out on valuable mental stimulation. Instead of setting the pace, try letting your dog take the lead—pausing to sniff, explore, and take in their surroundings.

This slower and more mindful approach isn’t just great for your pup—it can also be beneficial for you. Studies show that taking time to observe nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. Letting your dog wander (within reason) encourages you to slow down and appreciate small details you might normally overlook.

If you’re looking to add more variety, try switching up your usual route. Visiting a new park or trail provides fresh sights and scents that keep walks exciting. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, consider a “forest bathing” walk—moving slowly and intentionally through nature while engaging all your senses.

So next time you leash up, let your pup’s curiosity be your guide. You might be surprised by what you discover together.

Do you let your pup take the lead?
