How could they NOT make us better people?
Look at that face!
Apparently it is true...animals really do make us better people.
According to the Pet Health Council, a five year study of 600 children from 3-18 years of age showed that those raised with a pet in the house have overall better life coping skills than those who don't live with a pet. This was shown to be especially true in children who have difficulty learning and in children whose parents are divorced.
Researchers also found that children living with pets have overall higher levels of self-esteem, and function much better emotionally than those who do not have a pet in the home.
Important life lessons are learned by children who have a pet, such as developing responsible behavior to take care of their pet, as well as developing a respect for all living things.
Don't miss out! There are many beautiful, loving, healthy animals housed at your local Humane Society shelter that need a forever home. They can't wait to meet you!
So what are you waiting for? Become a better person today!
And save a life at the same time. Contact your local Humane Society.
Note: Indy, the beautiful Boston Terrier above, was adopted a couple of days after our photo session. She is such a sweetheart and so deserved a forever home. But there are many more amazing animals waiting...to see some of their photos, go to the link above.
