Dog walking

The profession of dog-walking seems to be as big here as in New York. The difference is that Porteños (i.e. residents of Buenos Aires) like LARGE dogs and, for reasons of efficiency, dogwalkers walk a lot of dogs at once. This picture was taken in the neighborhood of Belgrano, but we've seen smaller guys with more dogs elsewhere. We saw a dogwalker on the Avenida Libertador with 15 dogs, more than 10 of which were of German Shepherd/Golden Retriever size. I estimated their total weight at a good 750 pounds, which is a lot of dog flesh for a 120 lb. guy to have control of. And, in answer to the question that immediately springs to mind, yes, these dogs leave a fair amount of, um, mementos on the sidewalks. More than you would want, but less than you would expect.
