Having a loyal and devoted best friend, whose main goal is to make you happy, is pretty hard to resist. Add in the wonderful companionship, safety, and goofiness that dogs provide, and it's a no-brainer for us dog lovers. But if you have someone who's on the fence about whether to get a dog, here are some of their many benefits:
- “Science-backed Reasons to Adopt a Dog": they make you healthier, they can sniff out cancer (and other diseases), they lower your blood pressure, get you moving, and reileve social isolation
- “They're Even Better for Your Health Than You Think”: great for your heart, relieve stress, get you outside, make you happy!
- “Health Benefits of Sleeping with your Dog”: sense of security, warmth, bonding with your dog (in fairness, there's also the “Health Risks of Sleeping with your Dog”)
- “How Dogs Can Ease Your Depression and Anxiety”: dogs are extremely intuitive and just their existence is helpful when you're down or upset
