Dog Makes Kid Happy & Healthier
Children
who are born to a family with furry pets seem more able to ward off
certain illnesses. Although it's a pretty common thing to see newborns with
minor respiratory issues and ear infections, researchers found those babies who
had more interaction with animals seemed to have fewer of these problems and
needed less medication, even when they were sick.
Children who keep pets are healthier and more
emotionally balanced. Specifically, kids who had a dog during their first year of life had 31
percent fewer respiratory tract infections than kids who didn't live with a
dog, researchers found. Kids from dog-owning homes also had fewer ear infections -- 44 percent
fewer than kids from non dog-owning homes -- and needed fewer antibiotics.
Children learn lifelong skills from pets and, likewise, animals adore
being with kids. Your children probably treat
your dog like another sibling - they sleep together, play together and even
disagree sometimes.
To put a smile on your face here are couple of You Tube videos of Babies laughing at Dogs.

We're not sure what's funnier -- the dog, or the baby's bubble helmet.

From this first face-to-face meeting, we think these two are going to be the best of friends.
