What is good about having a pet?
There are so many good, great, things about owning and raising a pet. I’m a dog person, not that I don’t love all animals, but I just prefer dogs. So, let’s go on shall we?
It’s taken a long time for humans to see and understand animals and their emotional attachment and support they provide for us.
I’ve written about my emotional support/sobriety dog, Molly, who was with me for the first 10 years of my recovery journey. What an impact she made on me and our family. Molly read my emotions before I could. She filled that void, listened, and supported me when I was at my lowest and highest.
I’ve also written about my childhood dog, Bonnie, and have written a book about it (not published…yet) here in my Chapter book on this site 😀! Bonnie, also made an impact on my life at an early age. She was my protector and guardian.
No matter what type of animal you have, the pure connection you feel when you have a pet, is not only great for your emotional well-being but also has many health benefits.
Pets are a great addition to any family as long as they are well cared for. Any pet requires a lot of time and attention. They have feelings just like us 😊 so, remember to be kind.
Their life may not be as long as ours but when they are here with us, it is worth every tear when their time has come. They leave behind such love and memories.
Dedicated to all the pets out there ❤️
