“I realize I sound very existential right now, but I’m telling the truth.”

In addition to that, taking your dog for walks is an exercise routine all by itself. Plus, taking a dog out forces you to step outside and connect with the world; you naturally end up chatting with other pet owners or random neighbors, and those small daily interactions can completely turn someone’s day around.

Another advantage dog owners enjoy is their ability to bounce back from health scares. Research suggests that individuals who own a dog recover much faster from a heart attack or a stroke than those who do not have a dog as a companion.

Keep in mind that it is a good idea to go check on your older relatives and perhaps take your furry friends along with you. You truly never know what a little visit from a dog can do to their mood.
