Southern cities were among the worst-ranked cities to walk a dog. According to the study, the area is not the most walkable and not the most accessible to dogs. In addition, researchers said the hot climate in the South might make the area uncomfortable for dog walking, but the climate of each city was not factored into the rankings.

Detroit was the only city not in the Southern U.S. ranked among the worst cities on the list, ranking at No. 194.
