Meet Mariano. He lives in Buenos Aires. He is a dog walker.
If you walk through any of the parks in Buenos Aires on a weekday morning you will hear a chorus of barking dogs.
Argentina has the most pets per capita in the world. 80% of households have at least one pet. 66% of those pets are dogs. And many of those dogs have a dog walker. In Buenos Aires the dog walker will come to your house, pick up your dog and take it for a good walk through the neighborhood before settling at a park so the dogs can bark and play for 3 -4 hours. The better behaved are let loose while many are tied to trees throughout the park. The dog walkers themselves manage up to 20 dogs at a time and are incessantly disentangling the leashes and separating dogs.
It was good fun to spend the day with Mariano and his dogs. Excuse the barking.
