Researchers at the University of Granada and the Andalusian School of Public Health in Spain found owning a dog increased risk by a similar amount as continuing to go into work in person.

Interesting read. We see that there is community transmission or mystery transmission of Covid. We never really get to grips on this, other than blame the usual suspects of family gatherings, funerals, food processing plants etc.
Are dog owners more likely to stop and chat while out walking? I certainly notice that dog walkers seldom move to one side on the footpath, rather people walk around them. Can the dogs be picking up Covid on their paws etc.
