Leeds dog walker and singing dogs go viral for Marching on Together | OneFootball

Retired police officer Lee Stowe, 53, has gone viral after a Facebook clip showed Milo and Jasper singing along to Leeds United anthem Marching on Together in his van. He runs Leeds-based Leads United Dog Walking, launched in 2023.

"Milo and Jasper have people in cars laughing their heads off as they pass," he told The Yorkshire Post.

Stowe, a Leeds United season-ticket holder, shadowed local walkers before striking out on his own, complete with a van emblazoned with Leeds United branding. His days are spent on Temple Newsam walks, where he noticed the pair's love of a singalong.

"This was honestly a one take wonder, they howl and sing along, it is great." "I had had enough of the stress of people day to day and was ready to do something else." "It was a lightbulb moment."

He sends playful match reports to owners each day and crowns a player of the week with a trophy. He even holds press conferences for new signings. "The owners love the football theme." "Some of them want nothing more than their dog to win the trophy, it is a bit of fun."

Stowe served more than 30 years with West Yorkshire Police, including 19 as a sergeant. He is now three years into the business. "I know this is the job for me now." "It was a total career change but I couldn’t love it any more than I do. There is nothing better."
