Have You Hugged Your Dog Today?
New research reveals that just a few minutes spent patting a dog can relieve a heart patient's anxiety and perhaps even help recovery during a visit to the hospital. According to experts, "they make people happier, calmer and feel more loved. That is huge when you are scared and not feeling well."
I can personally attest that cats also have a calming effect on people. Not only have my cats comforted me on numerous occasions, but my Persian cat actually helped improve the health of patients in a long-term care facility. I don't have any scientific data to prove this only smiles and positive attitudes.
