To connect a pin position to the same pin on a "leader" layer, something like this should work:

thisComp.layer("leader").effect("Puppet").arap.mesh("Mesh 1").deform(thisProperty.propertyGroup(1).name).position

Thanks for your fast respond Dan,

Unfortunately it's still doesn't work. I try something like that before and it's makes the child layer pin move to the same position as the leader layer pin. Look pretty messy . I need the child layer pin position still in its own and only follow the walking move af the leader layer pin. What you think?

That's strange--it works perfectly for me. The only way I can think of for that to happen would be if your animals are not separate layers. The pin positions are relative to the layer, so as long as they are separate layers of the same size, it should work.
