Mutt Runners was formed in June of 2023; but I’ve been running my mini Aussie, Pickles and blue heeler, Olive (R.I.P.) since 2017. This venture was started as a way to give people’s beloved canine companions the necessary kind of life-prolonging and enriching exercise that so many miss out on through the constant commitments of time and energy required to facilitate this habit.

The bedrock to this idea was partially lain by my own fitness journey, some years ago; which could fill its own website. Being that I’ve also befriended nearly every dog I’ve ever met - even as a mailman, for that matter - the time had been ticking before these factors converged into this endeavor.
