In our new article we examine whether people who frequently walk a dog have a different view of urban nature and its biodiversity than people who do not walk a dog. Since many people who are outdoors and in nature on a regular basis have a greater valuation of the latter, we have assumed that this can also manifest itself through activities usually associated with dog exercise. Our data set of a survey with almost 4,000 people in five European cities has shown quite clearly: Surprisingly, people who are regularly outdoors with their dog have no different appreciation of urban nature than other people - and this regardless of whether they answered our questions in Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Sweden or Slovenia.
