1. Dogs increase your mood dramatically! 

Spending just 15-30 minutes with your dog can help you feel more calm and relaxed, reducing stress and increasing happiness. Playing with your pup increases your brain’s levels of dopamine and serotonin, both of which are neurotransmitters associated with pleasure and tranquility. So the next time you’re feeling down, grab the newest toy from your BarkBox and spend some time with your pup! That wagging tail will be sure to put a smile on your face.
2. Having a dog may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Studies show that talking to and petting your pooches are often accompanied by lower blood pressure, and that means a lowered risk for a myriad of different illnesses.

3. Step aside, kitties! Dogs protect children from skin conditions and allergies.

Source: @yogurtthehusky

Children who grow up with dogs have a lower risk of developing eczema than those who have cats or no dogs at all. Yes, it’s true! In addition, children also develop fewer pet allergies if they grow up with a dog.

4. Having a dog improves your physical wellbeing and encourages a healthy fitness routine.

Of course! Your dog requires daily exercise, and so do you! Dog owners carry the responsibility of playing with and working their dogs, so it only makes sense that dog people tend to be more active.

5. Humans with dogs recover more quickly from illnesses.

Dog owners have a much higher rate of recovery from being sick than non-dog owners. In fact, humans with pooches who suffered from heart attacks were twice as likely to fully recover than those without!

6. Dogs make excellent service and alert animals. 

Canines make excellent service companions when trained properly for people with disabilities. They can be trained to bring medication, alleviate a stressful situation for their human, and even detect an approaching epileptic seizure.

7. Children with dogs in their household miss less school.

Source: @yogurtthehusky

Yes, it’s true. We all know that children absolutely adore pups, but research has shown that children from dog-owning families have better school attendance due to better overall health and less sickness from having a pup at home.

8. But wait, there’s more (for your kids)!

Having dogs has actually been shown to improve a child’s self-esteem, and makes issues that cause stress easier to handle.

9. Simply put, they are a human’s best friend.

Because of their heightened sense of smell, sight, and hearing, dogs are extremely intelligent creatures with a loyalty to their humans that is unexpectedly strong. Those with dogs will know–your pups can sense human body language, emotions, and feelings, and this paves the way for an unbreakable bond.

10. They will go to great lengths–2,800 miles to be exact–to find their humans.

Have you guys heard the story of Bobbie the Wonderdog? Well, he traveled a whopping 2,800 miles to return to his family after accidentally being abandoned across the country.

11. They make excellent watchdogs.

From puppyhood, dogs innately learn to watch and be aware of anything rotten coming your way. Potential burglars are put off by a barking or watching dog in the window. Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Scottish Terriers are among the top watchdog breeds, but even my fluffy American Eskimo dog is known to be great at alerting families of anything odd or suspicious!

12. Dogs help increase social interactions.

Yes, not only do dogs need care and playtime with their humans, but they need time to socialize with other pups too! This means that their humans will have a chance to socialize while they oversee the puppy playdates. Those of you with pups know that even going on a walk in the neighborhood can bring many friends and start many conversations!

13. There’s never a dull or boring moment.

Have you ever found yourself sitting at home, wondering what to do today? There are so many things you can do with your dog, whether that be taking a trip to the park, training, playing, running, or just watching them chew a toy. It’s all fun, for both of you.

14. Dogs may save your life.

Our lovely canine friends seem to be able to detect the smell of cancer in human bodies. There have been stories of pups who continued to lick and sniff at moles or lumps on their human’s bodies, who eventually found out that those skin conditions were cancerous. In fact, since humans made this discovery, dogs have even been trained in just 3 hours to detect cancer!

15. Stressed at work? Let me prescribe you one adorable puppy.

Notice the increasing trend in workplaces allowing dogs to come to work with their humans? There’s a reason for that! Studies have shown that people who take their dogs to work have lower stress levels during the workday.

16. Having a dog makes YOU more awesome!

The responsibility, patience, selflessness, and commitment that comes with having a dog makes us stronger, all-around better people.

The dog-human relationship is a two-way street. We’ve heard the phrase, “Who rescued who?” and it’s certainly something to consider. Dogs have proven that they improve our physical and mental health, as well as the health of those around us.

A man who broke his neck outdoors in freezing conditions survived lying in snow for nearly 24 hours thanks to his dog, who kept him warm through the night and barked for help.  The Michigan man, named only as Bob, was alone when he left his farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood.   Anticipating a journey of only several metres,

Bob was wearing just long johns, a shirt and slippers when he went outside, despite the temperature being around -4C.

Bob and his dog Kelsey, which kept him alive after he broke his neck in snowy conditions (McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital )

However, he slipped and broke his neck.“I was screaming for help but my nearest neighbour is about a quarter mile away and it was 10.30 pm, but my Kelsey came,” said Bob.

Kelsey is Bob’s five-year-old Golden Retriever. She kept Bob warm by lying on top of top of him, and kept him awake by licking his hands and face.

Bob said: “She kept barking for help but never left my side. She kept me warm and alert. I knew I had to persevere through this and that it was my choice to stay alive.“By morning my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.“She was letting out this screeching howl that alerted my neighbour. He found me at 6:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day.”

Bob’s neighbour eventually discovered him after hearing Kelsey’s howls and called the emergency services. When Bob arrived in hospital, his core temperature was below 21C. Normal body temperature is 37C and hypothermia occurs when the body drops below 35C.

“I was surprised to find out that I didn’t have any frost bite,” said Bob, “I am sure it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep me warm and safe.”

And to the surprise of doctors, Bob made a quick initial recovery from his neck injury.

“After the surgery, miraculously, he started to move his extremities with greater strength,” said Chaim Colen, MD, Neurosurgeon at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital.

“Most people with spinal cord injuries, they don’t move,” Dr Colen told  “It’s tragic and when it’s done, it’s done. I don’t know if it was the cold temperatures that may have helped him or the fact he was laying down on the snow the way he was.”

Do You know ? Mister Pet offers the best Pet Houses with Ac in Dubai, UAE.

He added: “I think animals can help and his dog really kept him alive and really helped him, he was very fortunate.”

However, Bob will still need to undergo extensive physiotherapy to regain his old strength and proper use of his limbs. However, he is expected to recover.

“I am so thankful for my two heroes,” Bob said. “Kelsey kept me warm, alert, and never stopped barking for help. Dr Colen saved my life and ability to move. They are truly heroes and I will be eternally grateful.”

Howling as a defense mechanism

Dogs howl to signal others that the area they are entering is already claimed and occupied. It is actually a warning that intruders of their territory will have severe consequences. So next time, when a dog howls, beware!!!

To express anxiety

Dogs sometimes howl to express anxiety. Dogs are a social animal who would love to spend their time with caretakers. However, if they are left alone for a while, and they are not used to it, they might develop anxiety which they express in the form of howling.

To communicate illness

Thankfully human have a language to express the sickness, but the dogs don’t have. They howl as a sign of discomfort or pain. Pay attention to the duration of the howling. If they are howling for long, then you should make a trip to the vet.

To demand attention

Some times it is the dog’s way of grabbing attention from caretakers. If they suddenly felt a lack of care, love, and affection, then they howl to get this message across.

Ancestral traits

The wolves are their ancestors and howling is their way of wolves finding each other, marking their territory or informing other pack members of their location. The dogs have this trait on their DNA, and hence they howl to let others know that it is their territory.

External sounds

At times, the external noises such as ambulance or police sirens can quickly make any dog howl. It is because they resemble this high pitched sound to howling.

Well… That is it!! No ghosts no supernatural!! Just pay attention to the fur balls you will know why they are howling.

We understand how much hard it is to leave your dog at home. Just to see your best friend wagging the tail and barking at the door when you leave is definitely heartbreaking. For most of us, our dogs are indeed part of the family. We like to take them along for everything from errands around town to the family vacation. However, not all places are pet friendly, especially in a country like the UAE; where strict rules are implemented when it comes to pet ownership. But the good news is that the attitude towards allowing pets outdoors have somewhat relaxed in recent years. In fact, the list of Dog Friendly Places in Dubai is getting longer every day.
