Science can't explain the power of pets, but any studies have shown that the copany of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering fro a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

Researchers at Northwester eorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise progras; a separate group of 56 fat people without pets were put on a diet progra. On average，people lost about 11 pounds，
or 5% of their body weight .Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds，ore then 15%of their body weight .Dog owners didn’t lose any ore weight than those without dogs but ,say researchers，got ore exercise overall ?ostly with their dogs ?and found it worth doing.
