Fwd: ScienceDaily: College Students Find Comfort In Their Pets During Hard Times

This crossed my radar recently. Anyone surprised? I always improve the
quality of life of those I live with.

College Students Find Comfort In Their Pets During Hard Times

A new study suggests that college students may handle stressful
situations better if they have a pet. Research has already shown that
pets can improve the quality of life for people who are aging or those
who are chronically ill. But researchers have recently found that many
college students may also benefit from owning a cat or a dog.


I have heard it suggested, many times, that if people were more like dogs, then people would be happier, the world would be a better place. But, if people were more like dogs there would be other outcomes. Sexual morality codes would be completely different. And people would be dogs, not people.
