Dogs Costly Friends Across the Nation
The article notes that about one in twenty people keep a dog, estimating 5 million dogs in the United States. It states an average 16 cents daily feeding cost per dog, totaling about $182.5 million annually, and compares this to the amount of flour that money could buy, illustrating the scale with a hypothetical fleet of over a million trucks carrying 12 barrels each for a 2,500 mile procession.
