In fact is the love that heals, true love. The love for a pet is unconditional and unselfish love is true love and love is the one that heals.

Of course, there are many health benefits of owning a pet. Pets are great for making love connections. They provide social support and unconditional love. Routine walking and playing with a dog can provide exercise and keeps us healthy. They overcome our stress and helpful to improve health.

Besides loving you unconditionally, pets are wonderful companions too. They listen to you patiently even when you're at your grumpiest best, without complaining!

Purely anecdotal evidence, and I'm sure within the hour you were smiling again.

Actually I wasn't smiling again until I fixed the fence and saw that he couldn't get out of it this time.
