Dog exercise law

Germany's agriculture minister Julia says she plans to introduce a new law next year requiring that owners exercise their dogs.?

Under the law, pet owners would have to take their pets out at least twice a day for a total of an hour or more. Julia says the new law is based on studies by scientists showing what’s best for the animals.

But the new law made many dog owners mad. They don't like being told how to care for their pets. Though the law is meant to protect animals, people say its rules don’t always make sense. For example, long walks for older dogs are probably not good ideas.
