Why do people keep pets?
A lot of people keep pets for different reasons. Some love animals, others just like to care for things and watch them grow and thrive.
According to the US National Institute of Health (NIH), pets are of many benefits to humans.
The NIH writes:
“Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion. The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their emotional and social skills. Scientists are looking at what the potential physical and mental health benefits are for different animals—from fish to guinea pigs to dogs and cats.”
