Dogs are man’s best friends, providing unconditional love and companionship. They can often lower your blood pressure, reduce anxiety, bring happiness to the family atmosphere, teach empathy for others less fortunate.
Dogs are also considered to be one of the top three pets in families with children because they promote physical activity among kids who may not get enough exercise. Dogs provide a sense of responsibility for little kids who need to feed their furry friends or help administrate medication when needed. As well as teach them how to walk an animal on a leash without choking the dog if they’re out in public or around other people.
Dogs can also alleviate symptoms that come with living an active lifestyle, like sinus issues if you live in a congested area with high levels of air pollution, allergies if you’re allergic to pollen or dust mites.
Dogs are also known for helping reduce the stigma associated with mental illness by providing comfort and companionship to those suffering from various types of depression.
