Our Dogs, Our Personal Trainers May 03, 2019

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you, and today I want to share a couple of stories about how dogs can act as your personal trainer—and frequently do! Our latest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Life Lessons from the Dog, contains many stories about how having a dog has improved someone’s health and fitness—both physically and mentally. It’s amazing how many people have their lives transformed through having a dog—because the dog gets them walking or running, gets them eating healthier food, and teaches them how to enjoy the little things and put all the ups and downs of life in perspective.
