What To Do For a Special Neighbor

There is a man I see all the time when I’m walking one of my client’s dogs who always, and I mean ALWAYS hands out premium jerky for the dog I’m walking.

It’s at the point where the dog knows and will stop and try to get the man to come out of the house so she can get some jerky. And he does!! If he sees us outside, he’ll actually get up and come outside just to hand out some jerky. And he doesn’t even just stop at treating the dog; he’ll make sure to give me half a dozen or so strips to “take home with you.” Sometimes he’s even just handed me the rest of the bag to take home. Again, this is the very expensive, single ingredient jerky; not some junky stuff.

I thought I made it clear that this isn’t my dog and of course the dog doesn’t care that she doesn’t belong to me but…

Anyway, with the holidays right around the corner, I would love to do something special for this very kind man. In a perfect world, the dog’s Owner should be the one to give him a little something but I don’t know if they’ve even considered it. Besides, I’m seeing this man regularly when I take the dog for her daily walks.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice for something I can do or give or something for him?
