Studies have found that spending time with a pet offers many therapeutic benefits including reduced anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, and increased levels of endorphin, the feel good hormone. Read about the wonderful benefits of pet therapy and how Jane Brody turned her pet dog, Max, into a certified therapy dog in this article at the New York Times Well Blog.
