Discoveries from a study on injuries related to walking dogs leashed demonstrate that traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) were the second most common injury among adults treated from 2001 to 2020. This research indicates that people who take their furry friends out for a stroll can be at risk of experiencing finger fractures, traumatic brain injuries, or shoulder sprains and strains. Similar to how a wild rollercoaster ride can result in unexpected bumps and jolts, walking a leashed dog can lead to unexpected accidents that may result in brain injuries. This highlights the importance of being cautious and taking safety measures while enjoying adventures with our pets. By understanding the risks associated with this seemingly simple activity, we can raise awareness and promote safety practices, ultimately reducing the number of TBIs.
