The Power of Pets

Boomers can gain many benefits from owning a pet, especially a dog. A pet doesn't care about your faults, only that you take care of them.

• Pets make you a happier person because of their unconditional love.


• Loving a pet reduces your stress levels, your blood pressure and even your weight by walking the dog every day.


• You make new friends by socializing with your fellow dog walkers.
