A new study from researchers at Ohio State University discovered that communities with higher dog ownership tend to experience lower rates of homicide, robbery and aggravated assaults compared to areas with fewer dogs.
There are numerous benefits to owning a dog that are backed by science. For example, studies show being a pup parent can improve mental well-being, decrease the risk of cardiovascular problems, increase physical activity and even make you more attractive to others.
Another essential factor to a safer neighborhood is that the dog owners living there walk their pets regularly. “They become almost like a neighborhood watch,” Rogers said, referring to residents who walk their dogs regularly. “They’re meeting their neighbors, and they’re getting to know their neighbors and getting to see what’s normal in the neighborhood if they do it every day.”
Researchers have long suspected that dogs provide at least a sense of security to neighborhoods. In 2016, researchers from the University of Western Australia found that the presence of dogs causes residents to feel that their communities are more secure.
