Dogs as our companion

Dogs are commonly called "man's best friend".

1. Emotional Support

• Dogs offer unconditional love and companionship, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Their companionship can alleviate loneliness and give their owners a sense of purpose.

2. Physical Health Benefits

• Having a dog promotes regular exercise through daily walks, fetch, or other exercises.
• Studies have found that interacting with dogs has been shown to decrease blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and promote heart health.

3. Safety and Security

• Several breeds of dogs are inherently protective and may serve as effective watchdogs, warning owners of possible harm.
• Trained animals can offer personal protection or help guard homes.

4. Service and Assistance

• Dogs may be trained as service animals to aid the disabled, like helping the blind or warning people with epilepsy prior to a seizure.
• Therapy dogs are taken to hospitals, schools, and care homes to offer comfort and emotional support to the needy.

5. Social Connection

• Exercising or mingling with a dog tends to result in encounters with other owners of pets, thereby creating a feeling of belonging and establishing friendships.

6. Teaching Responsibility

• Taking care of a dog educates children (and sometimes grown-ups!) on responsibility, compassion, and dedication. Thus, dogs are called man's best friend.
