Dog owners are 4 times more healthier

New study suggests that having a dog can strongly influence how much people exercise.

Most people who live with dogs, are familiar with their joy at ambling along paths, trails and sidewalks. 

A study found that dog owners had a lower risk of death due to cardiovascular disease than people who did not report owning a dog, as well as a lower risk of death from other causes.

Researchers at Michigan State University found that dog owners are 34  percent more likely to fit in 150 minutes of walking per week than non-dog owners.

 Petting and playing with puppies has shown to increase levels of "feel-good" hormones serotonin and dopamine, which can help reduce stress levels and help improve memory and concentration.
