We are all familiar with the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This adage can also be applied to the welfare of shelter dogs, and to Dr. Melanie Sartore’s efforts on their behalf. For the past few years, Sartore, associate professor of kinesiology at East Carolina University (ECU) in Greenville, N.C., has been a veritable powerhouse, creating a village made up of students in her ever-popular physical activity course, Fitness Walking—Dog Walking Coursework primarily includes students helping dogs at the local Pitt County Animal Services shelter as part of the class’s shape-up program.
