🐶 Hugging a dog is one of life's greatest joys — and it might even help you live longer. New research suggests that dog ownership is linked to a reduced risk of death for people with cardiovascular disease.

Close enough

My pup climbing over to hug me while I drive.... 💗

You have to walk them?

I am indifferent about living longer, but I am committed to living happier; yes, my dog is a huge part of that.

This also works with hugging PEOPLE!

They relieve stress. Duh!

1 It's the extra exercise of twice daily dog walking. 2 It's the unconditional love/no guilt combo. You can be an asshole and your dog will still love you. That's powerful.

But, totally agree that they make our lives better, and longer

Unfortunately, most people don’t ask the dog if they want a hug first. You’d be surprised how many don’t like it.

There’s no such thing as a “reduced risk of death”.

Ohhh the love!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

And our president doesn’t have one. It seems he hates even the idea of dogs as human companions.

Cause or effect? Agree it’s probably both.

JasonLaCanfora My dog Dexter ONLY gets out of bed AFTER I give him a big hug. Best way to start the day. 🐶♥️

I've got cats

The irony is, most dogs hate being hugged.

people without dogs suffer because of negligent dog owners.

I had a pastor that once said 'God gave us dogs to teach us how to love.' I think he was on to something....

Every time i hug my dog, she growls then bites me.

NPR Choice pageVape (all) bans are ridiculous... Legalize, tax, regulate... If you were apart of the Prison guard Union, for profit prison system or LE. It would be in their best interest to flood an illegal market with a harmful product, to justify upending a non harmful legal market. Sounds like sabotage.
