How do dogs help us?

Answer 1

Dogs are known to lower blood pressure especially in elderly people. Dogs are also stress relievers and are good companions. They are also used for jobs such as helping the blind and detecting drugs. The list of things a dog can do is probably endless.

Answer 2

They say that a pet owner (dog/cat/pot bellied pig/birds, etc.) can give us more years of life. A study was done on this and it's true. If we love our pets they are loyal, they accept us for who we are; our many mood swings, and we can be ourselves around them. They don't care if we are pretty, handsome, ugly, fat, disabled.

Dogs help in these ways:

• Children with brain injuries, ADD/AHD, Mentally Challenged children, etc., will relate much more quickly to a dog/cat than they will humans. Dogs mainly are used in this capacity.
• Seeing eye dogs allow the semi to permanently blind person to get out into society by being the owner's eyes. These dogs are trained of course.
• Some dogs are trained to know when a person is going to have a seizure or if a diabetic is going to have a 'reaction' even before their owner knows it.
• For the disabled some dogs are trained to fetch things; pick up things that their owner has dropped; open doors, trained to stay right next to the wheel chair when the person may go for a spin during the day. Some of these dogs are even trained to hit a specific button on the phone to call 911!!!
• Dogs are often mascots in nursing homes for the elderly. Even the more fortunate elderly who live at home wouldn't know what to do without their pet as the dog is great company for them and will protect them.
• Some dogs are trained to sniff out drugs, weapons at airports, etc.
• There are dogs being trained (and studied at present) to sniff out cancer cells in a human. Scientists are finding that the dogs are almost 100% correct.
• Dogs herd cattle and sheep.
• Some breeds of dogs are great hunters.
• Dogs will protect your family and your children.
• Newfoundland dogs were just not used to help people or herd, but also years ago they were used as 'nannies' for children and did a great job of it. They kept children safe.
• Dogs are trained in the Police Force.
• Dogs were used during WWII. The dogs would take messages from one area to another. Many dogs were given a Medal of Honor for their courage and many were killed. Both soldier and dog were inseparable.
• Last, but certainly not least, your dog just wants to be part of the family and is the best friend a family could want. Some dogs can be trained to surf; sky-dive; go hunting with their owner; love boats, car rides and will protect that vehicle with everything it's got (no matter how small the dog is.)

Answer 3

Dogs help with blind people, elderly people, act as therapy pets, reduce stress, and sniff out bombs, drugs, and cancer.

Dogs can rescue avalanche and earthquake victims, guard your yard (or a junkyard), pull sleds for the Arctic's inhabitants, or herd sheep and cattle.
