Eight Reasons Why It’s Good to Have a Dog
Everyone knows what joy pets bring to our lives. But it has not been said in vain that dogs are man’s best friend. On this occasion, were mind you why these wonderful animals are an ideal pet.
1. DOG OWNERS LAUGH MORE OFTEN
A study published in the journal Society & Animals says that dog owner laughs more often. The study authors asked the dog owners and those who did not want to record how many times they were laughing in the day. Dog owner shaves been shown to do this more often.
2. YOUR DOG IS YOUR LOYAL FRIEND
Dogs have evolved from wolves, and these animals are known for living in packs and developing a strong bond with other members. This is what makes today’s domestic dogs loyal. Stephen Zawistowski of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says dogs view their owners as members of the pack and bond with them as closely as they would with their siblings.
3. PEOPLE WITH DOGS ARE SOCIAL
This conclusion from the University of Liverpool and Bristol scientists is quite logical since dog owners are more likely to go for walks, meet other people and talk to them whether they are dog owners or not.
4. DOGS CAN BE GOOD FOR HEALTH
A study published in the journal National Academy of Sciences found that children born in households with a dog had a lower risk of getting asthma or allergies. Thanks to dogs allowed to enter and enter the home, children develop a modified community of microbes that protect again allergens. There are many more beneficial impacts of pets on health.
BECAUSE THE DOG YOU WILL BECOME ACTIVE
University of Michigan scientists say 60 percent of dog owners who take their pets for regular walks meet the criteria for moderate exercise. In addition, seniors walking their dogs are in better physical shape than their walking peers, a study published in the Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services showed.
DOGS SAVE LIVES
Some dogs have a universal blood donor group, just like some people. Dogs can help humans as a kind of early warning system for patients suffering from, for example, seizures. Trained dog scans since the onset of seizures 15 minutes before they occur. They then bark, warning the patient to sit down and not be injured in the fall.
A DOG BRINGS MORE MEANING TO YOUR LIFE
They are a great company to everyone, but especially to the elderly. A study published in the Journal of Social Psychology concluded that seniors who have a dog are more satisfied with their social, physical, and emotional state than those who do not have one.

Simple eye contact with your pet releases oxytocin, a good mood hormone. In a study that measured oxytocin levels between two groups of dog owners, a group that was told not to look their dogs straight in the eye measured a smaller level of oxytocin than that allowed for eye contact. Another study found that dog owners are less depressed on average, feel less lonely, have more self-esteem, are happier, and less stressed.
