Did you know that research shows that people who own a dog tend to be more physically active? How about petting a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol and increases oxytocin (a feel-good hormone)? Dogs are great companions, especially when you want to get moving together. This month, you can join Exercise is Medicine on Campus every Thursday starting on Oct. 5 at 12:30 p.m. in front of the Brandt Student Center and meet and take a walk with a new furry friend. (Walks will be canceled in the event of rain). Learn more and meet some of the dogs of Shenandoah! For more information, contact Jessica Peacock at jpeacock@su.edu
