“Trust doesn’t help neighborhoods as much if you don’t have people out there on the streets noticing what is going on. That’s what dog walking does,” Pinchak began.
“When people are out walking their dogs, they have conversations; they pet each other’s dogs,” Pinchak continued.
“Sometimes, they know the dog’s name and not even the owners. They learn what is going on and can spot potential problems.”
And aside from homeowners’ sense of trust and security, a significant presence of dogs also discourages criminals from targeting the neighborhood.
Not only will barking alert the community of an intrusion, but there is also a fear of being bitten involved.
In turn, Pinchak believes that his study is just more proof of why dogs are unlike any other pet.
“There has already been a lot of research that shows dogs are good for the health and well-being of their human companions. Our study adds another reason why dogs are good for us,” Pinchak said.
