Massdriver Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Quote Dog ownership may be associated with longer life and better cardiovascular outcomes, especially for heart attack and stroke survivors who live alone, according to a new study and a separate meta-analysis published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, a journal of the American Heart Association. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-10-dog-ownership-longer-life-heart.amp Full disclosure: I love dogs and have a Brittany named Oddo (best dog ever) and my fiancée has a lab mix.

Mr.Vic20 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 On the whole I'm sure this is true, however my dog lays in wait for me in the morning darkness and I have, on more then one occasion, taken a tumble thanks to her constant efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Having a loving companion often means feeling less lonely and stressful. I'm not surprised by this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine loves to sleep between the couch and the ottoman when I’m sitting there, and gets stepped on all time, same surprised look. I think he secretly likes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think studies have shown that pet ownership in general is beneficial to your health and mental health. Also all those studies about married people living longer and happier. It's probably just bad to be lonely all the time. So if you do live alone try getting a cat or a dog or whatever your circumstances will allow. Shit I bet even a turtle or hamster would help out a little.

If you do, and they have two sets of babies, you’ll reinforce it’s a cold hard world. - lessons from my childhood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
