"All over the world, major universities researching the therapueutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions are employing full-time pet therapists." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet
Pets Can Improve Your Mood:
For those who love animals, it’s virtually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand.
Pets Encourage You To Get Out And Exercise: Whether we walk our dogs because they need it, or are more likely to enjoy a walk when we have companionship, dog owners do than non-pet owners, at least if we live in an urban setting.
Pets Stave Off Loneliness and Provide Unconditional Love:
Pets can be there for you in ways that people can’t. They can offer love and companionship, and can also enjoy comfortable silences, keep secrets and are excellent snugglers.
It’s important to realize that owning a pet isn’t for everyone.
