Recommended: Essays about the importance of dogs in human life

Have you ever wondered how different our lives would be if it wasn’t for our furry friends? Of course non-dog owners could argue that it wouldn’t make much difference. But what if dogs are the reason why millions of people around the globe have a healthier and happier lifestyle? I know I know… “This sounds so cliché” you might say –but it’s the total truth! These little buddies encourage and motivate us to triumph over the roughest days. (Not all of them are little though. Have you ever been near a Saint Bernard? Those pups are huge!)
As a puppy lover, I strongly believe that dogs are indeed man’s best friend; their unconditional love and the health benefits they provide us with, fairly earn them the top spot on the long list of pets.
My Golden Retriever, Missy, came to me about half a year ago and she has completely changed my life. She is the most energetic and playful dog I’ve ever seen and as sweet as a cupcake (but I don’t want to eat her… even though I’d really enjoy a cupcake right now).

  • Burkhard Bilger's The Last Meow

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever wondered how much it costs to have and maintain a pet? Burkhard Bilger, the author of “The Last Meow”, explains how Americans spend a lot of money on their pets and that people's “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control. An observation I have made is that in many movies dogs are treated very well. When I was younger, I watched a movie called Bratz and one character would always have her dog inside a dog purse and they would even get manicures and pedicures together. The dog always had shiny clothes on and it was always very clean. Therefore, I agree with Bilger's argument that Americans “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control.

  • The Effect of Dog Assisted Therapy on Elderly Patients with Dementia

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    Several studies have examined the effects of dog ownership on people's physical and mental health. Dog ownership produces considerable health benefit and provides social support that encourages dog owners to walk (Cutt et al.2007 ). Pet owners appear to have lower systolic blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels(Anderson et al 1992). Pet owners with serious mental illness living in the community demonstrate higher social community integration(Zimalog and Krupa 2009). Socially excluded participants who performed in the presence of a dog report higher mental well-being compared with socially excluded participants who did not work in the presence of a dog (Nilüfer et al 2012). Although there is evidence suggesting that dog ownership can improve people's physical and mental health, there is little research documenting the psychological and behavioral effects of dog-assisted therapy, especially on elderly patients with dementia, who have dif...
