The article "Forget the Treadmill. Get a Dog." by TARA PARKER-POPE shows people have dog are more physically active than others who don't have dog or don't walk with their dogs . Many researchs also prove that , people walk more with a dog , they do more walking exercise when they're accompanying with a dog than people . A research especially point out , dog walking are highest among the young and educated people .
I like many sentences of last the paragraph,such as “They help themselves by helping the dog,”,“If we’re committed to a dog, it enables us to commit to physical activity ourselves.”.Walking a dog it not like a job ,it should be a relaxed thing to go out with pets. As the sentences say, dogs help you too.
About the dislike part , i didn't actually find it . As a simple research article ,it offers the information and data from the researchs . All the information the author gave us is supporting the main idea . If i don't believe a part of it , the whole article would be a gibberish for me . If that happened ,it would be esay to find the dislike part .
leisure : free time

leash : a piece of leather rope for a dog .
Put a leash on your dog .

vigorous : using a lot of energy
This old man is vigorous at the age of 70.
comparison : comparing two or more things
In comparison with last game , this one is sort of boring .
In comparison with the other two articles ,this article is more interesting and attractive . It brings some new ideas which come from many researchs . Author gather them and show us dog has a big impact on people's daily exercise . We are used to having dogs ,but we don't exactly know what kinds of benefits they give to us.Owner will get more rewards if they treat dogs well .What is more , helping owner with exercise is beyond the duty of being a dog .
