1SG.DAT have.2SG help-PART.PASS to take to walk DEF.MS my-MS dog
I glossed "portare a spasso" quite literally, but "spasso" used outside this sentence would mean "fun". "Portare a spasso" is some sort of causative version of "andare a spasso", which means "to go for a walk".
Note that "mio" is redundant. It's quite clear that you're talking about
your dog, so you can leave it out (and it would be more natural to do so).

"Tiać" is more of a general-purpose particle used with some verbs than an actual preposition meaning "to". Most of the times, actually, it comes out as "from" in the English translation.

1SG.OBJ-help-NPST-2SG stroll-ALL dog-1SG-H.GEN-NH.GEN
You helped me walk my dog.
Notes:
-In K'anerhtówhí, it is impossible to have two conjugated verbs in a single clause; nominalisation is prevalent. "You helped me walk my dog" is literally "You helped me with the walking of my dog".
-The two genitive suffixes are used in this sentence. The first one, the non-human genitive refers to the dog's walking (
weré wishénrh, "the dog's stroll"). The second genitive, the human genitive, is used to show possession of the dog (
wishéniwhí, "my dog").
-While in English, you help
with something, in K'anerhtówhí you help
towards a goal, hence the allative case.
-Dogs aren't native to Rajnlokem. The K'anerhtówhí have only ever been exposed to wolves, which they sometimes breed to help them hunt, or for meat. Some rich families can however afford to keep wolves as pets. They would call such an animal
wishén, from
hén, "wolf", and
wis, "to cherish, look after". Dogs are really just wolves we cherish, after all.

You helped me walk my dog.
I decided you don't walk a dog or walk with a dog in this conlang. This looks like a weird idiosyncracy to me. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and use 'accompany' as the verb in this expression. Now I can derive a relational noun meaning 'with' from it. Yay
Also a dog is a 'barker', but this might just be a back-formation.

Probably more natural to incorporate dog into the verb phrase in that clause:

"Me" here is an indirect object, at least for speakers in the Southern Basque Country.
