Joy, harmony, movement, nature, a sunset, and three animals all living their best lives.

Only purpose of this video as far as I can tell. Why don't they share pictures of the guy in the chase car with the expensive cameras?

They created a beautiful piece of art and you angry that they didn't show the gear?

Can you not admire the artist work?

It was posted on the "Dog Lovers" twitter account, where people post videos of dogs doing stuff. We don't see the woman's face or learn her name, so it's a pretty anonymous version of fame.

I grew up with horses and dogs, and the one thing I can tell you is they can be very unpredictable. They might stay with you for a few minutes but they also have a tendency to wander afield somewhat. My take on the video is it is completely staged for entertainment value. Just because it was posted to this twitter account doesn't mean it was produced specifically for it. And yes I'm an old curmudgeon, and proud of it.

and dog... and I wonder where that took place (as someone living in a city, trying to imagine an empty road)... and I would not be comfortable having my backside so prominently featured in a video (but then again, I rarely allow any parts of me to be photographed, including my face). I clicked on it to link to the "Dog Lovers" twitter account, and then looked at some of those videos, most of which I imagine were staged (for entertainment value) in some way, just like I stage a lot of family photos (without me in them), often for entertainment value. I "liked" some of those videos, then after that little entertainment break, resumed my day.

I had a rotten week, feel really blue; came to the Lounge for just this sort of thing. Watched the orange cat pull the jacket off the black cat, laughed my guts out, then watched this horse following its owner, so carefree and happy. A free run, no responsibility, looking around then running to keep up. A beautiful horse, beautiful moments. Lucky horse, lucky dog, lucky human. I feel better. Lucky me.

I'm guessing thats not a "country stroll" Haven't seen any nice asphalt paths like that in my parts of the country anyhow. Probably at a park or something in which case I hope the camera person brought a scooper to clean up the horse stuff.
