Dogs come with healthy side-effects...
 

Dogs may be a key secret to health and happiness because they encourage their owners to walk them daily-whatever their mood or circumstances. Researchers have shown that dog owners felt obliged to walk their dogs despite bad weather or low moods, keeping them fit and making them feel better once they were out. So, when there's a dog in your life, walks are an everyday event. On a hot summer day a cooling dog coat and portable dog dish will help your dog from over heating and getting thirsty. In winter, when it's cold and damp, a nice dog sweater or dog raincoat and booties will keep them warm and dry.
