People rarely get dogs for "selfish reasons" or to gain some advantages for themselves.
Basically, a person is guided by love for animals.
However, this does not mean that there are no advantages to owning a dog: there are quite a few. But it is worth concentrating on the three main ones.
What do they consist of?
Healthy heart
Experts note that people who have a dog are less likely than others to experience serious heart and vascular diseases.
A person has to spend a lot of time outdoors, walk a lot and get charged with positive emotions thanks to his beloved pet.
This is especially important after 45 years of age, when the risks of disease become significantly higher.
Lack of loneliness
Some people believe that human interaction cannot be replaced, but dogs provide us with an incredible level of social interaction.
First of all, you start communicating with your pet and forget about loneliness. But this is not the main point.
The thing is, having a dog helps people to loosen up and improve their relationships with society. This is a very valuable advantage for reserved and uncommunicative people.
Absence of destructive influence of stress
The fact remains that it is impossible to completely eliminate stress factors, since something is likely to throw us off balance.
However, the dog helps to remove the negative consequences of such an emotional breakdown.
