Am i the asshole for breaking quarantine while having covid?

the reason behind this is that i have to walk my dog. I don't walk him to the park though, obviously. Just around my house/neighbourhood for a bit, just enough for him to do his thing and go. Does that make me an asshole?

    no, doesnt make you to be like that if you need to get the dog to get plenty of walking and joging around the blocks should be doing it like 2 hours and 15 mintue to keep in shape and make sure you wear a mask on when you are going be out public places because never know someone else might walk pass through and wanted to pad your dog. but better not let anyone pet your dog when you are taking the dog for walk. well if you have own backyard where there a fences then you dont really need to take the dog outside public places but if you dont have a fences backyard where the dog can walk and run around.

    No, You're fine.  Just you and the dog and no one close to you. I'd carry a mask just in case something comes up that causes you to need to get close to someone.  Walk up and down the street or around the block and take a bag to pick up dog sh!t.  If you don't have small one, use a grocery bag to pick it up and take it back to your trash.

    if you go near people without wearing a mask then yes.

    Not at all. Not as long as you can stay well away from people. And you will be outdoors. Just go really early in the morning, or some time where you can stay like 15 feet from people.

    Depends, If you stayed away from other people, and just took care of the dog's needs, and back home. I would say no, but keep a mask handy.

    I wouldn't consider walking your dog in your neighborhood during covid an a$$hole thing to do, but if you are going to crowded & public parks with a bunch of people without a mask on, then yes you would be an a$$hole. If you want to be more cautious while walking in your neighborhood, just wear a mask.

     It is entirely safe for both you and others  to do so as long as you are wearing the correct safety masks.

    If you know you are positive for covid then yes you are an asshole.   It might not affect you too much but it could kill several others.

    Yes, you're the a$$hole.  Thanks for asking.

    As long as you are socially distanced you are not endangering anyone.  You could wear a mask too, just to be safe.
