In the News
Its really good to know that owning a dog is not only a joy but it also helps to keep you healthy in mind as well as body
The study is in japan but i expect it can apply to people in other countries including the UK
I have always championed dog ownership and for anyone feeling particularly lonely this study confirms what was thought

Sad today T looking at all the people carrying their pets out of Ukraine.Just shows how valuable they are. 
Cats also provide huge benefits they often help people calm down and relax more than dogs but dogs have the benefit of getting their owners outside to exercise with regard walks. Both are hugely positive compared to not owning pets though.
I agree B, i think it is beneficial to own any pet , it is personal preference if it is a cat or dog
I think any pet can do this it's all about having that connection with them me I've had ducks, cockatiel, budgies and dogs they have all made me happy
Dog’s are great at relieving stress but surely can’t stop any disability In my humble opinion.
I think they are talking about reducing the risk of disability more P
I would expect they mean like strokes and the such that can lead to permanent disability
Funny enough, my sister was just saying the same, after a lifetime of saying No to a dog, she now dog sits for her daughter's dog and says it makes her more active taking it for walks and the dog is always pleased to see her. She was raving about it, but not for me. I don't want to pick up poo 
Its not too bad B is you feed dry food , it tends to come out solid and quite dry providing the dog doesn't have an upset stomach
James's Joyce of Ulysses fame loved his wife's bottom burps . Comes with a warning .Be minded.

Quite a character M , and his wife was quite colourful too, putting it mildly
I noticed the boy in the family photo was grimacing
She must have been letting rip at that moment 
My little dog passed away a couple of weeks ago. Devastated. I am disabled and really helped me to be active. He was a joy and life is pretty sad at the moment. I think everyone should have a pet.
