The reason that I think that this discussion is important is because, according to Paws For People.org…
THE BENEFITS OF PET THERAPY
It’s well-known (and scientifically proven) that interaction with a gentle, friendly pet has significant benefits.
Physical Health:
lowers blood pressure
improves cardiovascular health
releases endorphins (oxytocin) that have a calming effect
diminishes overall physical pain
the act of petting produces an automatic relaxation response, reducing the amount of medication some folks need
Mental Health:
lifts spirits and lessens depression
decreases feelings of isolation and alienation
encourages communcation
provides comfort
increases socialization
reduces boredom
lowers anxiety
helps children overcome speech and emotional disorders
creates motivation for the client to recover faster
In Physical Therapy
increases joint movement and improves recovery time
maintains or increases motor skills
provides motivation to move more, stretch farther, exercise longer
****** (Plus, who doesn’t want to see cute pet pictures? 
They are bound to make you smile.)
Hopefully this video of Bevo will play. He’s a goofball with the laser pointer.
This was our sweet Jake, right before she passed last year at 16 yrs. Yes, she was a girl dog named Jake. Long story… LOL.
