Results from the study found that youngsters who lived with canines completed approximately 15 minutes more of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per week than those who did not have a dog in their home. The study will be published in the March issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine.
“Children and adolescents may not have the primary responsibility of walking the dog but may actively play with the family dog, thus contributing to their overall minutes engaging in physical activity,” the report says.
