Wild Bill Peacock is a hard one to miss on the road driving a car stacked with doggy bags, bullhorns and an unlikely honk: quacking.

“I like the quacking because it’s so incongruous. Nobody expects the dog walker to quack at them,” Peacock said.

He walks 30 dogs a day, seven days a week, including his own dog, Gunner, who he calls his copilot.

“I’ve been doing this for five years, but I honestly feel like I was born a dog walker,” Peacock said.

He charges fifteen dollars per walk, lets overnight dogs sleep in his bed and he’s always happy to barter.

“One client couldn’t afford to send their dogs out five days a week, so I accept tattoos as payment instead. I never particularly wanted tattoos, but it seemed like it was in the best interest of the dog,” Peacock said.

Peacock said walking dogs has changed his life.

“This is not a job. This is a lifestyle. I live with dogs and my whole house is devoted to dogs and I just love it,” Peacock said.

But the grass was not always this green for Wild Bill. In fact, just five years ago he felt like he was living life on a short leash working a desk job.

“It felt like I was going on a road trip every day. Like, go strap into my desk and sit there for eight hours and get off at the end of the road trip at the same place I started. Just running in circle for no reason,” Peacock said.

His days of chasing his own tale are over. He’s found leading the pack has not only helped his head. It’s helped his health.

“I’ve probably lost 30 pounds since I started doing this. I’m no longer pre-diabetic. I was on eight different prescription medications five years ago. I’m on none now,” Peacock said.

And despite the fact that dog walking is not always easy and it’s not always glamorous, Peacock said running with the pack has been the best medicine.

Peacock said, “In many ways what your mother told you was true. Go out and get some sunlight and some exercise and you’ll feel better.”
