Let's face it, today's society is full of stress. With job insecurity, worries about who will be leading governments, prices of food shooting skywards and just dealing with family and friends that are stressed can take a mental toll on us. So we turn to our dogs as a form of stress relief.
Play catch, going for a walk or just plain sitting and stroking our dogs will bring about a feeling of tranquility. The stress seems to melt away in the first few seconds............at least it should. This lowers the risk from stress related illness. It should also add years to your lifespan if you engage your dog in stress relieving activities. I wonder if owning a dog would lower your life insurance quotes, it should. People who don't smoke get lower rates so how about people with less stress?
Well, what are you waiting for? Go and relieve some stress with your dog.
