...many puzzling features of MS is its geographical distribution. It is most common in northern states and decreases in incidence toward the Gulf states and the tropics. Since dogs are about equally popular in both the North and South of the U.S., some questioners of the Cook-Dowling research have asked how dogs can have anything to do with the human disease. Bowling's answer: In the warmer South, dogs are less often kept indoors as house pets, but are left to roam more freely outside than in the cooler North...
