Many families enjoy having a dog as a pet. In particular, dogs are considered good companions for
children. But have you ever thought about why having a dog might be important for the elderly?
Dogs can have a positive impact on an older person’s well-being by providing companionship and a
new sense of purpose.

As people grow older, they sometimes begin to live more isolated lives, and they can become lonely. A
dog, however, can provide constant companionship for elderly people. A dog is there to greet their
owners in the morning, and be by their sides throughout the day. Special relationships are formed as
dogs and owners relax and play together.

Having a dog can also give elderly owners a new sense of purpose. Dogs need to be fed, walked,
and cared for, which provides a routine for the owner. And walking a dog gives the owner a chance
to get outside for daily exercise and fresh air.

These are only some examples of how having a dog can help people find happiness and maintain
their well-being. Simply put, older people who own dogs are happier because of the opportunities
dogs provide.
