World Dog Day

August 26

August 26th is World Dog Day and here you will find the 5 benefits of living with a dog.
Here's how good it does:

1. We laugh more: according to the Society & Animals, who has a dog (or other animals), has a better chance of laughing several times a day, why? Their behavior and their funny faces make us laugh.
2. They are good for your health: the risks of suffering from depression are lower.
3. They help socialize: Research from the University of Bristol and Liverpool suggests that having a dog helps you socialize and make new friends.
4. They are a reason to be more active: thanks to them, we move more between morning and evening walks.

5. Dogs improve self-esteem: interaction with a dog helps people release oxytocin (a hormone that promotes empathy and affectivity) and produces serotonin (the hormone of good mood), reducing the cortisol that causes stress.
