Just another day in paradise, chewin', barkin', and chompin'.
Biren sent a link from the NYT stating the people who own dogs meet the minimum requirement of 30 minutes a day for exercise (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/14/forget-the-treadmill-get-a-dog/?src=me&ref=homepage), as recommended by the US Surgeon General.
Does this apply to dog run people? If we drive our dogs to the dog park (mea culpa here) do we still meet the minimum exercise requirement with all the health and wellness benefits that entails? If not, do the other, non-exercise benefits of dog ownership outweigh the risks of not meeting the 30 minutes a day of exercise?
