Dogs make us happy! That may sound like a bold statement. But, it just might be right! Research on the positive effects of dogs and their relationship to human health and well-being can fill the pages of a book. So instead of going into the science behind why dogs make us so happy, we’ve compiled a basic overview of seven reasons (I’m sure you can think of several more) why dogs are vessels of happiness.
1. They make you feel good about your life.
2. They’re always happy to see you, no matter what.
3. They make you want to be a better person and give back to the world by caring for them.
4. You get a free workout every time you walk or run with your dog, which helps you stay healthy and fit!
5. Dogs are a great way to meet new people—and who doesn’t want that?
6. Dogs care for us in their way. They can cheer you up, calm you down, or stay beside you when you’re down.
7. Dogs’ unconditional love towards their owners radiates and envelopes us in warmth, contentment, and a sense of safety. All of which you ultimately radiate toward yourself and others!
I think I’ve said all I need to say. If you’re an animal lover, it’s clear that they’re one of the most reliable sources of happiness in the whole world. Sometimes, all it takes is a tail wag from your favourite pooch to brighten up your day—and that’s saying something!
Now we’re not trying to say that you must get a dog to be happy. We are just saying if you don’t have one, you should probably get one! It’s a fact: dogs make people happy. So if you’re feeling down, maybe it’s about time you befriended your local shelter and got yourself a new friend!
