Being good alarm clocks aren't the only good things dogs do for their humans.
Dogs help to keep their humans healthy.
They are great exercise buddies. Going for walks or playing games every day help dogs and people stay fit and healthy.
People with dogs recover from being sick faster. Some hospitals are even letting dogs visit their peoples when they are recovering because they see that the peoples get better faster.
Some dogs, called service dogs, are trained to help people with disabilities. They can fetch things like medicines or phones or even help with grocery shopping.
Other dogs are trained to help people with PTSD from getting anxiety and Autistic children from having melt downs. Dogs can be trained to help Diabetics when their blood sugar is getting too high or too low and others to tell if their human is about to get a migraine or seizure.
Dogs are even being trained to sniff out Cancer!
We are very good at helping to relive stress. Okay, Mom says we cause her stress but she loves it when we run to greet her when she gets home from work. Some offices even let dogs go to work with their humans. When we had our Shoppe, I used to go with Mom every day. I loved to greet the people and some even came by just to see me.
Dogs are great for children. We help them learn responsibility and we are an excellent playmate. I read that kids with a family dog miss less school and are healthier than kids from homes without dogs.
We can help our humans make friends. A dog park or a walk around the neighborhood is a great way to meet people. Dogs are good conversation starters.
We are super good at guarding our houses. No body can get near our house without us sounding the alarm. We are good at letting Mom and Dad know when the mail arrives and when the UPS truck comes too.
Best of all, dogs are super fun to be around.
Give your humans a hug and have a happy day,
Zeva
