Bedeutung
Exercising a pet.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Swedes walk their dogs in all weather. It is common to see people in professional 'skaljackor' (shell jackets) and boots even in the city. In cities like Stockholm, 'hundrastgårdar' (fenced dog parks) are the primary destination when you 'går ut med hunden'. By law, dogs in Sweden must be taken out at least every six hours during the day. It is expected that you always carry 'hundpåsar' (dog bags) to pick up after your pet when you go out.
The 'Med' Rule
Always remember 'med'. You are walking WITH the dog, not walking the dog like an object.
Pick up after!
In Sweden, it is socially unacceptable not to pick up after your dog when you go out.
