Study finds working dogs, like sled dogs, take a day to adjust to Daylight Saving Time changes.

A University of Toronto study found that working dogs, like sled dogs, take a day to adjust to Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes, while pet dogs show no significant impact. Monitoring 25 working dogs and 29 pet dogs during the autumn DST shift, researchers noted that sled dogs were less active after sunrise but more active before their handlers arrived. The study highlights the need for flexibility in adjusting dogs' routines, especially for older dogs.
