Pets are our companions and our friends. They give a great deal to
us and ask little in return — just the love of a caring master
who will shelter and protect them, as we do our children. If you’re
a pet lover, you may in fact treat your pets like children and even
consider them as such.
The relationship between pets and humans appears to be symbiotic. Studies
have shown that pets are good for us in numerous ways. Petting an
animal is known to lower heart rate and blood pressure and brighten mood.
A study found that simply watching fish in an aquarium made patients
waiting to undergo medical procedures less anxious.
While the therapeutic aspects of owning a pet may be beneficial, very few of
us consciously choose pet ownership for this reason. Pets are most often
selected for companionship or, as is the case with dogs, for protection.
While we value our pets for what they provide for us, many of us forget
that pet ownership carries with it responsibilities. Our pets are
dependent upon us to meet their needs; they cannot do this on their
own. Pets require proper shelter, feeding and plenty of water and, when
ill or injured, medical attention. Pets having fur require grooming.
Dogs and cats require quality time spent with their owners at play. Dogs
and horses require daily exercise.
