After "dog walking" services appeared online and quickly became popular, the public realized just how many people love to walk dogs.

According to data compiled by a platform, since June of 2023, the number of people posting advertisements to walk dogs has reached 105,700, while the number of people need help walking dogs is only 27,400.

College students and office workers have become the main groups offering the service. 

Either out of love or stress relief, walking dogs can bring them temporary relaxation and joy. 

For busy dog owners, having someone help walk their dogs when they don't have time is the best choice.

According to the platform's statistics on the top 30 cities with the highest enthusiasm for dog walking, Wuhan is at the top of the list, with a prosperous situation of 11 people waiting to walk one dog.

Many netizens who support the development of this service say that such services can ensure not only the health of pets, but also convenience for dog owners, and can also reduce the incidents of abandoning dogs because owners cannot walk them.
