Humans need us, but it took them a while to figure it out!
I was reading the paper this morning, and in the “Sunday Life” section there was an article called “The Power of Pets”. It was all about how humans live longer lives and are healthier and happier if they live with dogs.
There were also some funny sticksticks - you know, numbers and stuff:
85% of Australian pet owners say their pet is a part of the family (what’s wrong with the other 15%?)
81% feel they’re never alone when they’re with their pet (and they’re the smart 81%???)
57% say their pet is their best friend (gee, let’s hope no one does a survey of dogs to find out who they say their best friend is)
There was lots more, but the other thing I wanted to mention was the “Pets At Work Scheme”. Apparently some American companies let humans take their dogs to work with them. Not so here in Australia, although my mum has sneaked me into work with her on the weekend–because she can’t bear to be without me!
