Why are pets important?

 

Pets are part of our daily lives. We adopt them and they become family. We can't understand each other and we look completely different than our pets. But there is a mutual bond. This article helps explain how pets help with our emotional support and they help reduce our stress levels. In return, we bathe them, feed them, and care for them. Pets can also help with societal problems, mostly dogs. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell and can be trained for police work. They can also be trained as therapy dogs. Detection dogs can help in detecting cancer and help people who are suffering from Diabetes, Narcolepsy, Epilepsy, and etc.  At the end of the day, we need pets just as much as they need us. They help in a way make us complete and they provide companionship.
