Did you know, it is good for your health to keep a pet?
When you keep a pet, stress hormones decrease and the hormone oxytocin is released which promotes a stabilized mind and body.
A child who lives with a pet compared to a child who doesn’t, is more stable psychologically and builds social skills and the ability to sympathize.
Moreover, there has been research proving that it is effective in lowering blood pressure and preventing heart disease.
We have actually been benefitting from pets without even knowing it.

Although dogs cannot speak, they communicate with humans through their actions.
Their actions such as trying to sleep on the bed together or licking faces, is to gather information about the owner through pheromones.
Also, they say that gazing intently at the eyes is an expression of trust.
Even without the same language, there can be non-verbal communication with each other.
Just as we can read pets’ minds, pets also have the ability to understand us through our actions.
