Dogs and Your Health

As dog parents, we cannot argue with the fact that dogs make our lives better. They are always there to greet us after a long day at work. They never hold a grudge and can bring a smile to even the worst moments. Dogs can be the best shoulder to cry on. They are always there to listen. 

We recently had a guest in the store share part of her life story. She told us that her little dog had come into her life just one week after her mother suddenly passed away. This new dog became the reason she got out of bed, even though she felt like she couldn't move. Day after day, she slowly began to feel more like herself, thanks to her new family member. She told us that her dog saved her life. 

Dogs are amazing, and they don't have to try very hard.
