Popis:	Dog walking and other playful activities with dogs can reduce sedentary lifestyles of both children and adults. Growing evidence suggests that dog walking and play can reduce obesity and promote optimal health and well-being, including spiritual health. Exploring the leisure and health benefits of dog walking and play may be important in addressing the epidemic of obesity and in promoting overall well-being. Although some studies have been undertaken on this topic, more research is needed to examine further the connections between walking and playing with dogs and human health.
