"Walking the Dog" (or "Walkin' the Dog") is a song written and performed by Rufus Thomas. [1] It was released on his 1963 album Walking the Dog . It was his signature hit and also his biggest, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1963 and remaining on the chart for 14 weeks.
IMO, the most likely etymology is the one about "taking the dog for a walk" as an excuse. Whilst I don't have any evidence to back this up, it seems to ring true. Bear in mind also the reference to Newcastle Brown Ale as "the dog", which is supposed to derive from "taking the dog for a walk" whilst slipping out to the pub for a beer.
