If You Want to Live Longer, Get a Dog

Pet ownership can increase longevity in people with health risk issues.

Our health-conscious society is always looking for ways to improve our longevity. The usual suggestions that we encounter have to do with diet, weight control, exercise, stress reduction, and the use of various vitamins and other pharmaceutical agents. However, it is becoming clearer that a simple solution that may have a significant health benefit is pet ownership.

Dogs scare me so in my case it might shorten my life. I will remain as is.
