Less Stress
There have been several studies that show people who own dogs benefit from decreased levels of stress. Simply watching your dog can reduce your stress.
Improved Social Life
While you’re out walking your dog and getting exercise, you are likely to meet new people, even that family that moved in down the street several months ago. Walking Fido leads to striking up conversations with strangers and previously unknown neighbors.
Less Depressed
Owning a dog is good for your mental health as well. Studies show that dog owners are less likely to suffer from depression. And dog owners who do suffer from clinical depression aren’t likely to be as depressed as others.
Security
Owning a dog is like having a security system that runs on Alpo and dog treats. Dogs have a keen sense of hearing and smell and can bark if anyone is prowling around the home.
