The Synergy of Human Girls and Their Dogs. It has been documented that as girls age, Their physical movements decrease When compared with that of young boys. When a girl lives with a dog, Her movements are faster and more intense. When a dog dies, a girl's activities once again decrease. The conclusion, at the moment, appears to be That a girl, companioned with a dog, May manifest greater activity and health. Of course, we must again remember our coevolution with dogs And this data perhaps increases The empirical importance of our millennial relationship With this once ancestral and wild canid, the wolf.
