Meet the "Walk a hound, lose a pound" program

The "Walk a hound, lose a pound" program is a study on human/animal interaction to see if getting exercise with a dog improves a person's workout both physiologically (blood pressure, weight) and mentally (desire and commitment to working out). The researchers have several demographics they are researching and I hung out with the senior citizen contingent for a morning. Thought I'm not traditionally a "dog person," it was nice to be around the doggies.
