Reply to comment by civilityman in How These Dog Walkers Make Over $100,000 a Year by LouisSeize

They imply that it’s some random millenial who walks dogs as a hobby but for some reason she makes $100k from it. But it’s a business owner who started a business. I am also a business owner and there’s no there there to write about. There are probably close to a hundred thousand small business owners in NY metro who make average money that don’t have disingenuous articles about them misrepresenting through clickbait headlines what their business model actually is, or that they have a business model at all. The opposite is implied in this headline. This woman owns a business that she created. It’s literally not news.

I get where you’re coming from but a business owner is 100% worthy of being written about. I thought the article was solid and the title didn’t come off as disingenuous to me, a business owner capitalizing on the pandemic puppy trend is a solid small business topic.

Yeah, they could just say she's a successful dog walker and tell her story no reason to bring up the $100k
