Nevertheless, studies have proved that dogs WANT and LIKE to run more than anything else, even though Eating, Sleeping, Affection, Digging, Barking, etc. are all necessary facets of their lives.
It's obvious they didn't study my Daughters dog. She is on her 2nd English Bull dog and believe me when I tell you neither of them enjoyed running. Eating and sleeping was their favorite thing to do !
I got my dog from the humane society when she was 6 months old. One of the first places we went to was an open field .... She just ran and ran and ran as fast as she could until she just about collapsed. We'd go everyday and she ran so fast her ears were flapping in the wind ! LOL
Yep...that's what dogs do when provided with the space!
(Look at Barbie's evil eye!) The smaller dog Jackie is playing with Barbie for the first time since bringing her home from the Animal Shelter. Trixie looks on...
