Dog was the first animal to be tamed by human. This animal has become friends with us for 18,000 years. For those who haven't had any dog, who are considering to have one, or who are just curious, scientists are holding the reasons why it is awesome to own a dog at home:
1. Bringing happiness
Due to all the stress at work, you might find it hard to enjoy life and don’t even care to have some fun.
But there is good new.
Researchers of the Society & Animals magazine had carried out a survey of dogs, cats, and other animals owners. The purpose is to find out how frequently they smile since owning a pet. The result showed that, compared to cats or other animals owners, those who own dog as a pet feel happier and smile more often.
2. A loyal friend
It is estimated that dog was tamed by human about 32,100 – 18,000 years ago, when the wolves started evolving.
Wolves themselves have always traveled in pack so they always have a special connection with their members. This behavior is passed down to dogs. But instead of being loyal to their pack, dogs are loyal and tend to care for their owner.
Stephen Zawistowski, a science counselor of the US, states that when being adopted, a dog will see his owner as a member of the pack.
Everybody will feel lonely sometimes. Therefore, it would be better to have a puppy or a dog, to make him a friend, a member of your family, or a part of your life.
3. Increase social connection
Scientists at Liverpool University and Bristol University have shown that dog owners will become more friendly and approachable than others. It is a fact that all dog owners have one common hobby: taking their dogs out for a walk. This will give the owners more opportunities to be outdoor and interact with other people, especially other dog lovers.
4. Become healthier
It is proved that in most case, kids who live with dogs will have lower risks of suffering from asthma and allergies compared to other kids. A research published by Science Academy of the US has informed that dogs carry Lactobacillus, the bacteria that helps kids strengthen their immune ability against some common allergy.
5. Encourage to be more active
Obesity is an alarming problem of office workers.
A research has pointed out that if these people own a dog, they will have a chance to avoid this syndrome. According to a report of Michigan University (US), 60% of dog owners have considerably lost some of their weight because they spend at least 30 minutes a day to walk their dogs. Also, elders who own dogs also have a better physical condition.

6. Life savior
The story about a cat in Florida that was saved from blood transfusion by a dog at the Banian Department has become a typical example of this thesis.
According to scientists, some dog species have the “universal” blood type – which can be transfused to other animals just like the O blood type in humans. Besides, dogs can be the alarms which give warning sign of danger to their owners. Some trained dogs can predict unusual events for human, about 15 minutes before they really happen. For example, Epilepsy. Before the owners suddenly collapse and become convulsive, dog can warn them in advance.
