- There are many benefits from owning a dog, but this one is truly profound.? Scientists from New York's Mount Sinai University and Sweden's Uppsala University have found that owning a dog cuts your risk of dying young by 24%.? They have found that owning a dog is "protective against dying of any cause".? Here are some key facts:
- Their research is massive, involving 70 years' worth of research study data on 4 million people in the US, UK, Canada, Scandanavia, Australia & New Zealand
- Dog ownership cut the risk of dying young by 24%
- It's even more compelling for people who've had a heart attack or stroke
- It cuts their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 31%
- The biggest beneficiaries of dog ownership are those who live alone, according to the research
- The benefits of having a dog, like my Brewster, are many, including:
1.? Companionship and fun
2.? Daily walking exercise
3.? Lower blood pressure and cholesterol 4.? Reduced anxiety and depression
- A number of cardiologists believe so strongly in dog ownership, they actually prescribe dog ownership for some patients
- Of course they don't know 2-year-old Brewster who chases rabbits, squirrels, tries to swallow bumble bees and once chased me down a country road until I saw him in the rear-view mirror and stopped to get him...not exactly anxiety reducing.
