Rogers noted that while many dogs offer home protection in the case of unwanted intruders, the new study found that neighborhoods with high canine populations provided more eyes on the ground — which makes sense.  

"What’s involved is the people who are walking their dogs in the neighborhood," Rogers said during his live segment.
