Thank you @Former-Member and everyone here tonight who made it the success todays Topic Tuesday has been.
Also here is another thread about the benefits of having pets .. one I opened a few years ago, and well worth resurrecting and dusting off. I hope I have the link correct. Its all about what we covered tonight, and more.

Walking the dog has been a postive thing for me & Mr Darcy who has BPii.
Our dogs have been so very important in his recovery.

If you are not able to have a dog but want K9 company, you can volunteer as a dog walker to help those who are unable to walk their own dogs.
