Dogs Are Athletes

Dogs aren't just our pets - they're also incredible athletes. Dr. Arleigh Reynolds, speaking at Purina's Better with Pets Summit on November 19th in New York City, tells us about the incredible endurance that athletic dogs demonstrate every day. In the extreme conditions of the Alaskan wild, dogs' physiology helps them overcome cold temperatures and hostile environments. Dogs are as important to the Alaskan economy as they are to Alaskan homes and culture - and, in recent years, they've also helped teenagers in one Alaskan village overcome challenges and go on to lead successful lives.
