Pets are a great influence on a person

Ok the other day when I came in from outside, I turned the TV on and it just so happened that a show about pets was on the channel and it talked about how pets can improve a persons life. According to the speaker, pets can increase serotonin levels, which make a person feel better overall. The speaker also claimed that the people who do have pets tend to have to take fewer medications, less check ups at the doctors, and hospital stays are shorter in duration. He also talked about how some dogs can sniff out cancer, but not all of them.

Overall, I found the show to be quite interesting. It was so weird to be watching something on TV and using what I learned in psychology at a really random moment!

  1. First of all we all know that Bethany was actually looking for an animal show. I think that pets give people comfort when they need it and are the loyalest creatures on earth. For some reason pets can tell when something is wrong, it's like they have a sensor built in to protect people.
