“dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and a reduced risk of heart disease.”
Their neighbors, not so much. Especially if they open poultry or cats or are avid birdwatchers or have a garden or rabbits, or are sensitive to excessive barking during their sleep hours or when they want to use their porch.
That said, the health benefits also apply to people who have any kind of pet, including fish, reptiles, mammals, minihorses, birds. Well, most birds. Maybe not the one I have. ;-)
Haha boy that’s true. Just say hey go grab that yo-yo rake out of my little shop and whack those weeds back for me! And they’ll run like a scared deer.🦌
MY DOG TELLS ME FASTER THAN ANY SECURITY COMPANY THAT I HAVE A “VISITOR”.
EVEN IF IT IS SOMEONE HE KNOWS...
THEN HE SUBSTITUTES A BARK WITH A WHINE...
Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

Groucho Marx was really funny. Thanks for the laugh.
My daughter has four dogs: two Corgis, one Labradoodle and one Heinz 57. Before her husband died two years ago, they lived on 10 acres. Now she lives in a pretty house she bought in Spokane, near me. She walks those dogs every day, 2 or four miles. They do bark and the neighbors sometimes complain. So she’s looking for a house in the country,, about 40 miles from me. Big sigh.
