With the new year upon us, it’s time to kick-start your resolution to get healthy.  But don’t forget your canine companion — many dogs are overweight — and who better to be your workout buddy than your best friend?

In the new book “Get Fit With Your Dog: A Companion Guide to Health” by Karen Sullivan, you’ll find plenty of tricks and tips to help you both get in shape.

To achieve overall health and well-being, many things are necessary.

Sullivan’s suggestions can help you maximize your physical activity during simple activities like walks and fetch and other exercises on land and in water.
