I had diesel out a walk tonight and I couldn't stop laughing. It was if his back legs were trying to overtake his front legs. I have never noticed it before.
He was sorta walking at an angle. Does your bully walk in a straight line or at angle .....

Definitely NOT in a straight line! too many distractions while walking…they want to sniff everything so they're zig-zagging all over the place. Obviously, I never got the "heel" command down!

Bocephus still has the puppy "side walk". Never in a straight line, and half the time I have to look down at him because he'll trip me

Yes most will walk a little crocked. That why when you see a truck and trailer where the trailer isn't pulling directly behind the truck and is a little to the side, we call that "dog tracking".

Lol, definetely not straight walking, but every which way but loose. I have to watch where I walk or they will trip me, and they have to stop and smell everything in their path, plus anything that moves is considered a friend, and they pull me to greet.

It's funny when they are walking straight, but their bodies are in an angle. It's more pronounced when they run. Makes me laugh every time.

Ok, glad that I'm not the only one. Thought something was off with Leo because he walks/ runs at an angle.
