Here’s a bit of slang from the language of professional dog walkers.

They describe a dog that is obsessed with carrying sticks or branches during their walks as a branch manager.

Oh, yeah, I’ve heard that one.

Oh, have you?

And then, of course, there’s the assistant branch manager, which is the smaller dog with the smaller stick.

Or the one that tries to help by grabbing the other end of the stick.

I love that.

Share the slang in your life.
