  1. My parents and sister own dogs and I can honestly say that they are the BEST work out buddies EVER!!! They WON’T let you NOT work out – especially if you have big dogs that need a lot of exercise! Every morning my parents and sister go hiking for 2+ hours because the dogs need to release their stored up energy!
