it or with it?

[loveydovey]

If I want to ask my dogwalker to see if he walked my dog, can I ask " Did you walk it, him, or her?" or should I exactly say " Did you walk my dog?"

 

[oregeezer]

He would probably understand that you are talking about 'dog' if you use him (male dog); her (female dog); or it (dog of unspecified sex).
Did you walk him?
Did you walk her?
Did you walk it?
All are grammatically correct.

:up: ...but there are some people who would regard it as strange/unfriendly/cold/distant/unsympathetic to refer to a dog as 'it'. A flat-mate who hated dogs, who was expected to care for a dog while the owner was on a holiday, might refer to the dog as 'it'.
