The dog is not a fan of the mobile phone, or the tablet, or even vintage technology such as the television. It is ideal for people walking dogs, children cycling bikes and, perhaps best of all, conversations without technological distractions. Looking at your phone while walking the dog is a bad idea for many reasons – not least it is dangerous. But our regular walks have also become phone-free mainly because, well, the suspicion is that dog would crack up if mobile phones invaded its favourite time with the family. You can let your children down, but it’s far more difficult to let your dog down.
