🐩Primero los therians y ahora esto…

Imagina pasear por Berlín y cruzarte con alguien sujetando una correa tensa… pero al final no hay perro.
Eso es el llamado “hobby dogging”.

Personas que pasean, entrenan y dan órdenes a perros inexistentes.
Llevan correas y arneses reforzados con alambre para simular el tirón, corrigen al “animal”, esperan en los semáforos y hasta recogen “lo que no hay”.

¿Performance urbana?
¿Juego?
¿Necesidad de pertenecer a algo raro para sentir que existes?
Berlín siempre ha sido laboratorio social, pero esto ya roza lo surrealista.

Cada uno gestiona su vacío como puede.
Algunos van a terapia.
Otros sacan a pasear al aire.

Wow.

"Believe it or not, an emerging pastime called "hobby dogging" is a new leisure activity for animal lovers in Germany who don't want the vet bills, hairy carpets, drooling or expensive vet fees. There is also no need to pick up the poo, deal with aggressive behavior or barking when leaving your pet at home.

As might be expected, it has been met with much head-shaking, skepticism and ridicule online. After all, the dog only exists in the walker's imagination.

Hobby dogging — essentially dog training without dogs — follows in the wake of "hobby horsing," a previous trend that saw children (and a surprising number of adults) gallop through obstacle courses on stick horses."

Germans honestly sometimes don't even seem to care what the words they are using actually mean or what the connotations are. Or maybe it's only my mind fixating on the latter part of "hobby dogging" that's the problem here, right? https://www.zdfheute.de/panorama/hobby-dogging-trend-100.html?at_medium=Social+Media&at_campaign=Instagram&at_specific=ZDFheute
