The body of evidence supporting the notion that pet 1ownership is good for your health grew 4even 6fatter
this month. American researchers have discovered that owning a pet can significantly reduce the risk of
a common cancer. And that's not all.
"8There have been studies that have suggested pet owners are more likely to have higher self-worth and
are less likely to suffer 2loneliness and depression," says Dr Deborah Wells of the University of Belfast,
9
who has conducted several studies on the benefits of pet ownership. Wells says pets are particularly
useful for children. "Pets can become like a therapist. If children are bullied at school, or their parents are
getting divorced, 10children will often tell their pets their problems whereas they wouldn't always talk to a
person."
The routine and "normality" of having a pet can help people suffering a traumatic event, such as
3
bereavement or a diagnosis of terminal illness. The researchers found that people with animals to care
for adjusted 5far 7better after the death of someone 11close than those without pets. "We live in a society
where we do not like to cry in front of people, but there are a large number of people who can cry in front
of their pets", one of the reseachers adds.
