In recent years, there have been a studies that validated the benefits of having pets that could positively affect it's owner's mood and heath. Pets could act a companions which would give unconditional love, respect and other things a human companion could give.

There have been studies the concludes the good effects of animal interaction in aiding treatments for trauma, depression, emotional distress, schizophrenia. Pet therapy or animal assisted therapy (AAT) has been used as a new concept in human health care.

Watching a film about animals will make you feel better. The reason behind this is your levels of Cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, drops.

There have been studies concluding pet to alleviate moods. Nursing homes with Alzheimer's patients see positive effect when a pet is in place. Patients are more lively and happy, some fail and sick patients even gained weight.

The human-like relation between a pet and its owner is attributed to the levels of Oxytoxin, a mood - affecting neuro-transmitter that is commonly known as the feel good hormone. The amount of Oxytoxin increase with any animal interaction like petting you cat or dog or by simply watching fishes in the aquarium.

You might heard stories of how dog can read the mood of its owners. A study validated this and concluded that man's best- friends have developed the skill to read emotions of humans with getting hints with human faces. Dogs look to face to find signs of anger, happiness, or sadness - the same way humans do, called the 'left gaze bias".

Individuals or families who own any pets, specially those that could interact on a daily basis like dogs or cats, are given the chance to have a human-like relation with these creatures. An animal and pets oriented magazine article I've read said that pet doesn't only takes space in homes, but also takes space in their owner's heart.

If you're alone, lonely, and stressed out, maybe it's time for you to take care of a pet. Just make that you'd be a responsible pet owner and could give the attention that your pet would be needing.
