Dog owners fitter, study finds

Dog owners are almost 70 per cent more likely than non-dog owners to achieve the recommended daily level of exercise, according to a new study from the University of WA.

The study by the university's school of popular health also found dog owners get 55 more minutes of total physical activity a week than non-dog owners and they perceive parks in their neighbourhood to be closer to home than non-dog owners.
