Hazel is a cat. She happily volunteers to follow her owner and canine companion on their regular walks through the neighborhood.

She was on a walk through the neighborhood trailing about 15 feet behind her owner and her older and much larger brother. She sometimes dodged under cars when a dog barked or took the scenic route through peoples yards making the two ahead stop to wait. She certainly had more freedom being off-leash. Fortunately, it appeared to be a temperate, leisurely walk in which the owner didn't mind calling "Hazel, come!" every few houses.

This was the second time this week I heard about a cat walking with their owners. Apparently, some feline family members want to stroll around the block too!
