As If we didn't know. Studies say Pets are good for the heart!

I totally agree. The oldest person in my neighborhood, Madame Cheignon is 92 and still regularly goes out walking her two (also quite elderly) Yorkshire terriers. I certainly think this is what keeps her going. She told me that if she passes on, who will take care of her poor little dogs?
Plus the daily exercise certainly does a lot of good for her health as well.
