I walk my dog to the mailboxes every now and then as destination for my walk and back. I have a theory for you...
I think dog owners bring their dogs in their carts to pick up mail because they know others who go at the same time. It allows the dogs AND their pawrents the opportunity to “socialize” for a few minutes as well. Dogs need socialization, and many don’t go to dog parks. I don’t think they go just for a place for the dogs to do their business, but with some people...ya never know.
