Ten Ways Pets Can Help You Get More Out of Life

A survey was done by the Huffington Post and it gave the list of the 10 things people want more of in life. I was thinking about it and realized that having a dog, or any pet, can help with almost all of those things on the list.

1. Happiness - Pets make people happy! It's what they do!
2. Money- They might end up making you spend more money than you would like to...
3. Freedom - What's more freeing than going out and running around the dog park with a furry friend on a nice sunny day?
4. Peace - Having a pet cuddle up next to you and fall asleep is the most peaceful experience ever.
5. Joy - Joy and happiness are extremely similar. Pets bring joy not only to their owners but to everyone they interact with.
6. Balance - Nothing brings more balance to your life than learning to take care of another life besides your own.
7. Fulfillment - Nothing beats that fulfilled feeling of successfully teaching a pet a new trick.
8. Confidence - Pets can give you the confidence to do something that might be scary to you. They won't judge you if you make a mistake and are always there to support you and boost your confidence.
9. Stability - Significant others can come and go but to your pet, you are their whole world. Stability at its finest.
10. Passion - Pets love you unconditionally. That's real passion.
