You and Your Pel
Dear Doctor: What is pet/
human bonding? Somebody men
tioned it at a neighborhood coffee
the other day but nobody seemed to
know much about it.
Answer: Pet/human or
animal/human bonding refers to
the bonds that tie pet and owner
together in a relationship that
benefits both by improving the
quality of life Recent research has
identified several areas in which
the bonding makes a significant
contribution to health and well
being;
-the love a cat or dog lavishes on
its owner is constant and provides
an important source of security.
-a pet gives a child coming home
from school to an empty house or
a person living alone, a tail
wagging companion happy to see
him come home.
-a pet is a source of the laughter
that is an essential ingredient for a
healthy lifestyle.
-owning a dog can improve a
person's fitness level by encourag
ing outdoor exercise. Walking a
dog also is a good way to meet peo
ple.
-a pet is an outlet for expressing
affection. Stroking and talking to
a pet is non-threatening and is a
fulfilling way of lifting depression
and easing feelings of disappoint
ment.
-relaxed talking to and stroking
a pet lowers blood pressure.
-confirming evidence shows that
people who have heartattacks live
longer if there is a pet in the house
that encourages their exercising
together.

pet care? If so send it to "YOU
AND YOUR PET," 1 12 Johnston
Street, Smithfield, N.C. 27577).
