Both dogs and cats can help reduce anxiety in people. It has been proven that stroking a pet lowers a person's blood pressure. In addition, dogs and cats seem to have a calming effect on children and the elderly; hence the use of therapy pets in hospitals and nursing homes. A striking example of dogs' ability to sooth the nerves of stricken people took place after the school massacre at Sandy Hook, when a team of specially trained Golden Retrievers were brought in to help that town's citizens deal with their loss.
