Dogs and Our Emotions

There is more and more information being published regarding the positive effect of dogs (pets) on our lives. For us animal lovers, this isn’t a surprise but we seldom see it written as a statement of fact or based on scientific data.

As I mentioned in a previous post, they do give us a purpose outside of ourselves. Since they don’t grow up, become independent, and move away to college or a life on their own, they are a family member that is with us until passing.

We can learn so much from them and many know the wonder of benefiting from their tremendous impact on our lives. I came across an ezine, The Healing Power of Pets, which I’d like to share.
