I can say from experience that walking, sitting, standing with any kind of animal will eventually draw hoards of people to you, like flies on elephant dung. Not saying all of the attention is wanted, needed or warranted, but that it happens. There are many animal lovers in this world.

I like puppies so that wouldn't be a problem. Maybe you throw in a kitten and retire in a month. That's genius! I could make $200-300 a day if I had a puppy?

In a New Mexico town that puppy got him so much attention outside a Denny's that he was able to make around $200-$300 per day... that kind of money kept him in town, renting motel rooms and getting drunk. It was affecting his lifestyle and he was getting trapped. So he left that town and headed to places where it would be harder to make that kind of money. He also annually gives all his gear away so he can reaffirm his ability to start from scratch with nothing, to practice the skill in case his stuff actually gets stolen. That's living a pure philosophy.
