Truly a best friend

A study shows that people who own and walk their dogs are healthier and fitter. Man's best friend may provide more than just faithful companionship as it appears that dog owners are more active, and the social and human/animal bond aspects of owning a dog also show a positive impact on quality of life.

Take action:

If you are struggling to get yourself to the gym, take Fido for a 20 minute walk every day and when you get home, throw him a ball or Frisbee for another 10 minutes.
