If you’re looking for a workout buddy in 2011, look no further than the couch-potato dog.
A survey by the American Kennel Club reveals most dog owners will use Fido to assist them with a New Year’s resolution to exercise more. Of those surveyed by AKC, nearly 75 percent said they would incorporate the family dog in fitness goals.
Other resolutions by respondents included “stop making the dog wear those silly hats for New Year’s,” and “Tuesdays will be trim toenails day.”
Don’t forget about the dog park! Owners can walk laps while their dogs frolic and play. Check out a list of Orange County dog parks and make a play date today.
In keeping with resolutions to get in shape, owners did not forget about their dog’s diet or accidental overfeeding. One respondent hoped to slim down her pup by “picking up the cat food between feedings, so her dog would not be able to sneak it.”
Interestingly enough 85 percent of dog owners have more faith in themselves and their dog than their spouses when it comes to losing weight in 2011. Only 15 percent of respondents believed their spouses would beat them and the dog in the battle of the bulge.
When asked who they wished they could kiss at midnight on New Year’s Eve, results showed that dog owners choose kissing their spouse (43 percent) by a dog hair with their pooch coming in a close second with 40 percent of the vote.
