The Benefits of Having a Dog!!

People love their pets, they have become a part of the family. More than 60 percent of households in the U.S. include pets, and those pet owners spent $41 billion a year on those pets. That may seem like a lot of money, but the fact that owning a pet can add years to the life of the owner, can make it a wise investment. A study done at the Minnesota Stroke Institute that followed more than four thousand pet owners for 10 years, the study found that owning a pet can dramatically reduce the owners chance of dying from                                                             heart disease.
