RE: Benefits of having pets and why people own pets
In my opinion, pets can really help if you are feeling lonely. They are always there for you. But that's just one of the benefits of having a pet and just one of the reasons people get pets. They are just a pure joy to have. They are always happy to see you, they love you, they are so very loyal, they love to play with you.
For me, dogs are just incredible to have around the house. To me, they make a house a home. They sit with you, they listen to all the things you say. There have been countless times where I have sat down with my dog and told him all my troubles. No matter what was going on in the world, I could always count on a hug from my dog, my best friend, and he always smiled at me.
Another benefit to having a dog, specifically is the exercise. Just walking a dog 3 times a day everyday really helped me lose a lot of weight. I became very healthy and I love the outdoors all the more when I'm with my doggies.
