12 minutes of
communication with your or any friendly dog immediately
- lowers arterial pressure;
- restores lungs function;
- prevents heart attacks;
- takes out cortisol, neuro hormone of stress;
- improves blood circulation;
- releases endorphins and makes you happy,
according to materials
from American Heart Association's scientific sessions, 2005.
Moreover, walking
with your friendly dog changes your brain.
The vast colored area on the right diagram shows the region,
where endorphins are released to make you happy!
Happiness, in its turn,
protects your heart from attacks and failures.
When
your dog feels that you are going to take it for a walk, its joy knows no boundaries.
Dogs read people’s intentions.
Did you know that?
Dogs
must mark vast territories and sniff to be always healthy.
This
is my dog.
This is where we live and walk, to
mutual delight.
When you walk together, you
start noticing beautiful trifles and surroundings around you,
including
architecture in your residential area.
Your camera will fix them all,
to your pleasure.
P.S. If you have no
possibility to have a dog, you could ‘rent’ it for week-ends at special places.
Enjoy life!
Dogs
are very grateful for your attention and tenderness.
