One hobby that I'm going through lately is volunteering at an animal shelter. I'm doing it in a laid back manner: 1 hour and 45 minutes once every two weeks, entirely spent walking dogs in sequence, as in walking them one at a time.
I'm enjoying it more, bonding with the dogs (not much though because the dogs are adopted very quickly) and it's a lot of fun. In the morning the dogs are all barking because they want to be loved and to give love so they're basically asking to be the one to be walked. I'm also pretty sure that I prefer pitbulls over other kinds of dogs.
Dogs are similar to people in that they need to sleep, eat, rest, breathe, and sh*t. There's also some diversity between them, some are more aggressive and some are more obedient. A major difference is that a larger fraction of dogs are loving.
This is Parsley when he was being adopted, I walked him a few hours before that photo was taken. I liked him, he had his own opinions of where to walk to and was adamant about it:

This is me walking Sunshine, she was adopted after I walked her and I never saw her again:

A fun thing I noticed two weeks ago when I was walking a couple (they're called a "bonded pair"). In that couple, the female was larger than the male. Interestingly, it was the female who seem to mark her territory more often during the walk.
