walkrouteveto
/ˈwɔːkˌruːtˈviːtəʊ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Gassiveto (Deutsch) · paseoveto (Español) · promenveto (Français)
The dog's right to reject the planned walk route at any junction, without appeal.
The walkrouteveto is exercised at the gate, the corner, and the smell. The human's map is advisory; the leash goes where the nose decides. Walks therefore have two versions — the planned one and the one that happened — and only one of them is retold at dinner.
Etym. — walk route + veto — the canine override on the evening stroll.
Rel. — rinseveto · fetchetiquette
