A study on its relationship to successful aging
Seeking the fountain of youth is a universal quest, but finding the Foxhound of youth may be more realistic. There’s a never-ending list of ways that dogs benefit our health and well-being, and their role in successful aging may be one of them, as long as the canine commitment is a serious one.
The impact on retirees of heavy involvement in dog-related activities is one of the current projects of Professor Wendy Hultsman of the School of Community Resources & Development at Arizona State University. She is studying the impact of serious dog leisure involvement during retirement on successful aging.
