全國遛狗週

[2013-10-02] National Walk Your Dog Week - October 1st~7th
“....at least 75% of dogs in shelters are there due to a lack of exercise, which has thus resulted in serious behavior issues such as aggression, destruction and separation anxiety issues. Often, dogs run away from home because they’re kept sequestered all day long in a crate or a small yard, says Paige, which only exacerbates a dog’s destructive, aggressive or anxious tendencies. This, coupled with too much fatty food, leads to obesity, as well as medical issues like pancreatitis, diabetes, heart disease and the number one killer of dogs – cancer....”

If you’re not an avid dog walker, spend a week walking with your dog! You’ll feel so good....you won’t want to stop!

你知道嗎？10月1日至7日是美國全國遛狗週呢。
創立者Colleen Paige表示，在收容所的狗兒至少有75%是因為缺乏運動，而導致嚴重的行為問題，諸如：攻擊、破壞或分離焦慮。那些逃家的狗兒，通常是因為整天被關在運輸籠或小小的院子裡，這也將使狗兒的攻擊性、破壞性或焦慮傾向更加惡化。再加上過多的高脂肪飲食，引發狗兒肥胖及各種疾病，諸如：胰腺炎、糖尿病、心臟疾病和死亡率最高的癌症。

如果你之前並不熱衷遛狗，先花一星期與狗兒散散步吧！你會感到很棒...你會不想停下來！
