On your own and lonely? Get a dog!

Grieving on the sudden loss of a spouse, or close relative? Get a dog!

Aches and pains? A dog will keep you moving!
Lots of oldies in this part of town that are seen walking their tail waggers regularly. Good for both of them.

Lost the routine structure in your day? A dog will learn to tell the time and get you up to feed him.

Need some loving? Get a dog!

As a human being myself, I have this strong need to care for and nurture other living things.
Cats, dogs, birds. But dogs especially.
Dog owners will know what that feels like.
