Why do dog owners enjoy happier, longer, and more fulfilling lives? Sociologists and veterinarians have explored the positive effects of dogs on human health and happiness, but their findings often remain hidden in obscure journals. The international bestselling author of the 100 Simple Secrets series has now distilled significant data from over a thousand scientific studies on the profound bond between humans and dogs. This compilation reveals one hundred essential ways dogs enhance our lives, each paired with an inspiring true story. Dogs improve communication by providing a common point of reference, making interactions more comfortable. Their presence can reduce the time it takes for people to feel at ease with each other by 45 percent. Additionally, caring for a dog is linked to longer, healthier lives; on average, dog owners live three years longer than those without dogs. Unlike primates, dogs are uniquely attuned to human cues, being 52 percent more likely to respond to gestures like pointing. Moreover, the simple act of walking a dog is beneficial for both parties. While it may seem like a chore, walking not only burns calories but also reduces stress. Dog owners typically walk 79 percent farther each week than non-dog owners, highlighting the mutual benefits of this daily routine.
