As a geek I couldn’t help but put some tech staff into the boring everyday task of dog walking. I wanted to measure how many more km he completes running while I'm walking. I stuck a Holux M-1000C GPS data logger on the dog-collar with some sealing tape while I measured my track with the Locus app on my Samsung Galaxy S.
The result was something I expected: our 10 month old dog, Pipa, ran twice as much as my walkin distance.
| Distance | AVG Moving Speed | Max Speed | Moving time | Color on the map | |
| Me | 4.6 km | 3.8 km/h | 5.9 km/h | 1:03:10 | green |
| Dog | 9.3 km | 8.5 km/h | 43.8 km/h (!) | 1:05:49 | red |
