I want a leather sofa, but I have two dogs and two cats. They are not destructive, but are allowed on the furniture. Any leather furniture owners have recommendations for me? Will they damage the leather just by walking on it?

I have four leather sofas, one in the living room, one in the master bedroom, one in my office, and one in the great room. As long as you buy top quality, whole hide (not patched together strips), leather is far more sturdy than cloth - for animals and humans. I do put throws on the sofas, especially over the backs because I have 6 dachshunds and they all like to perch on the back of the sofas - and all over them in general. Haven't had any damage from dogs yet.
I tend to put a throw (cover) on the sofa for when they get on, more to make it warmer for them, than to protect it, as leather can be cold when you first sit on it. A benefit of leather is that if they get it dirty you can just wash it off. Just make sure you get a good quality leather, not the cheaper thin leather.
