How sled dogs and pets respond when the clocks change

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Researchers from the University of Toronto put motion sensors on a group of Canadian sled dogs.

They saw that the animals were active and moving around almost exactly an hour early - the morning after the clocks went back.

In contrast, pet dogs of the same breeds as the working dogs showed no measurable effect - apparently resting peacefully during their extra hour in bed.
