Dog owners are 24 percent less likely to die for any reason, but the life-prolonging benefits are even higher for anyone with cardiovascular disease, according to two new studies

"Our analysis found having a dog is actually protective against dying of any cause," said Mount Sinai endocrinologist Dr. Caroline Kramer, lead author of a new systematic review of nearly 70 years of global research published Tuesday in"Circulation," a journal of the American Heart Association.

— William Suh, MD October 29, 2018 "I know a lot of my patients often say to me after they have a heart attack or stroke, can I even take care of a dog? They worry because they don't want to leave the dog alone if something happens to them," Gulati said."But if possible, I always encourage them to get a dog," she said,"perhaps an older dog who needs to be rescued and not a puppy that will be harder to manage.

What about kitties 😿😿😿😿

Makes sense- the care of dogs give us purpose, the love given by dogs gives us confidence, and witness to a dog’s character gives us humility. They are phenomenal works of art and irreplaceable family members.

lookforthesigns CNN SUCKS

Hahahahaha!

Thanks stella

cnn staff better get a bunch, they are all on death watch since november 2016, and poop watch, not one cnn staffer has pooped since then,

That’s why I have a dog and only drink red wine and eat dark chocolate.

Seriously? Dog owners, cat owners, banjo owners... all equally 100% guaranteed to die... who writes this stuff?!?

I guess I’ll be alive for quite sometime 🤣

Not when your dog has spontaneous diarrhea in your daughter’s bedroom at 2 in the morning.

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

slack2thefuture The thing that never gets mentioned about pets is that they can be expensive. Cats & dogs also need healthcare. And food. Neither is free.

It comes under social engagements, and with dogs you can be more of yourself compared when you socialize with people!

So dogs have the possibility of making you immortal? Seriously CNN, I'm a copy editor and would be happy to come work for you to clean up this sloppy writing

My ESA Support son !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 'Memphis' He love his Bannana Chips

Wont going for a walk twice a day be just as good without the overhead of owning a dog?

Message intercept

Surely dog owners are 100% likely to die, same as all other humans? Unless there has been a substantial increase in the number of robotic dog-owners which has somehow escaped my notice?

I own 4. Are the results cumulative?

So much BS.

This is a good 😍😍😍

So having a dog makes you 24% less likely to be in a fatal car accident?!? Is there an insurance discount for this?

The other way to look at it is, 76% where it doesn’t make any difference. I don’t think 24% is significant enough to prove a relationship to extended life span?

🙌🏾♥️

Between dying early and walking the dog every morning in January, the choice is clear 🙄

Because this❤️

Good news

Gimme all the puppies!

That's because dogs love us every day, unconditionally. Tell that to the Sharia compliant.

Were gonna live forever...lol/jk

joshscampbell Ask a medical doctor.... I feel very confident in saying.... based off years of experience.....that dog owners have a 100% likelihood of dying

How about stop being biased af, cats can do the same thing, but again so can't any animal that someone really likes. For me it's ferrets

😊

fake news. everyone eventually dies, dog or no dog.

Kris_Sacrebleu Lesson: if you do not or cannot care for a dog, then walk! Walk as though you had a leash in your hand...get the same exercise.

gtconway3d I want That frenchy puppy in the pic

See John Wick...

caseToCase basis ! :)

Talk to my landlord, man! I want a puppy but building owners, landlords, are often obstacles!

My cow requires that I take her for a walk twice a day, and my cat sleeps on my bed and demands lots of cuddles. This reporting is vague anyway, but the total blindness to the existence of fur babies other than dogs makes it pretty much useless.

Pres. Trump should get a dog. It can't do him any harm. He may chill out a lot more.

Hear hear!

No surprises here. My dogs are the greatest source of joy and love and humour. So glorious I’m obsessed.

Phew, glad I’m a cat person

Basic numeracy is lacking here. Your title gives the false idea that some dog owners never die. How about “Dog owners live longer”?

What on earth are you talking about?

Do I have a less than 100% chance of death? Really?!

Dog owners die. Period. This is the sort of anti-scientific nonsense that shames the field of statistics and traduces the science of epidemiology.

yashar There is an addendum to this though. If your dog likes the Joker movie, you are going to die tomorrow.

~ being in a relationship and spending time with friends helps as well… i’m doomed.

Lulund_kuki let's buy

Yeah bullshit every time this puppy runs away I lose like 5 years of life

Dogs people

How much for cats?

What if the dogs watch the joker tho?

Just clean up the 💩 and stop your dogs from disturbing the peace with constant barkung.

4everNeverTrump Notice, Dog owners.... NOT cat owners. Just saying.

Does this include death by meteor? Cuz if it does, dogs got some serious mojo

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Dogs are not only Man’s best friend, many times his only friend, but are also God’s best gift to Man.

How does this make Trump look bad?

Every dog owner could attest to this 🐶

Odd, I thought the odds of death were 100%. Fake news that dogs provide immortality.

IN.

darrylip hi can we have more miyos

Every family should have one.

ieatbanhbao

So theres a 1/4 chance I'll never die as long as i have a dog? Who knew the key to immortality was my lil girl!

ian_silverstein If trump has a dog please take it

So if we have three dogs... 72%?

Duh. We already knew that!

What's the health impact if they throw-up on your new upholstery?

Wow one thing by cnn I actually I hope is true

This is odd because every time my dog barks for no reason I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack

100% of people die.
