Why dogs (and cats) make you healthier

Owning a pet dog not only makes you more active but also makes you happy and reduces stress levels - leading to a healthier heart

If you don't have a dog or cat, would you consider getting one because of above?

Well I've got a much loved but demented cat. She makes me happy because she loves me unconditionally, she also keeps me fit by making me run around supplying all her wants and needs and causing me to exercise by hoovering all the bloody cat hairs up. I reckon if I saved the cat hairs I could knit a new cat every two weeks.

My one and only Minnie loves me unconditionally too - even if if I have just stepped on her paw! If it's possible to find the most comfy place in the house, such as an unmade bed, Minnie will find it.

Awwww Minnie is a beauty. Once a cat person, always a cat person.

My poor Erica is looking like an old lady now even though she's only about 11. She was not well as a young cat and almost died before the vet operated on her. She's had a very happy life since John found her though -
