Germany Proposes Law Mandating Dog Walking

unknown source
A new law proposed in Germany would mandate that dogs be "permitted to exercise outside of a kennel at least twice a day for a total of at least one hour," This can be accomplished by actually walking the dog or allowing him/her to run outside. Of course, this proposal, though well meaning, has been met with objections from "no nanny state", to it's up to the unique characteristics of the dog, to "right on".

It is interesting, though not clear who it actually applies to, private or commercial kennels, and how it could ever be enforced. 

As we exist in a COVID19 world, I have it on good authority that dogs are being walked - a lot!!!
