Dog Walker Keeps Routine in Snowy Maryland

On January 27, 2026, ABC News released a short video featuring Danny New, a volunteer dog walker from Maryland whose daily routine never falters—even when a heavy snowstorm covers the state. New, who spends about 30 minutes each day walking several dogs at a local animal shelter, says the activity is “cheaper than therapy.” In the clip, he explains how the walks keep his mood steady and help the shelter’s animals socialize, even when temperatures drop below zero and streets are slick.

The story highlights the value of consistent exercise in challenging weather.
