Owning a dog could help you live longer.
If you own a dog you have a 24 percent lower risk of dying early. According to a scientific review. If people who own a dog are compared with people who don’t have pets their chance of death from cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks or strokes is cut by almost a third.
It is believed by experts that dogs force people out for a walk which keeps them healthy and is good for the heart. Mans best friend also appears to bring a reduction in depression, stress, and loneliness. Another study found that heart attack and stroke victims were less likely to die if they had a dog and this was particularly relevant for those who lived alone. Dogs such as retrievers who are larger had more effect than small dogs maybe because their owners walked them more.
