Watching my pet I feel lucky to have her and I must say that she is something practically new in my life. When I was a little girl my mother didn't like the idea of pet ownership, she thought they could cause any kind of allergy or illness. Now that I have her, since she was a gift from someone special, the affection and love that we can feel for her is indescribable.

Those who have the fortune of having pets can feel the greatest and most transparent love for that being of another species that accompanies him, pets give us their unconditional love and fidelity at all times are like children who never grow up and stay by our side, since we are the ones who provide protection. Their waiting in our absence, becomes endless, yet there they are, always to receive us and somehow seek our attention.

Who doesn't know the incredible story of Odate's Japanese dog, "Hachikó", who waited for ten years for his deceased master at the entrance of the Shibuya train station until he died. What greater proof of love...

According to studies and research, having pets and giving them love not only benefits them, that care generates in their owners more tranquility and harmony.

Research by Miami University in Ohio (USA) also shows that pet owners have higher self-esteem, are more physically fit, and tend to be less lonely and fearful and more extroverted.

But why do you create such a close bond with pets, especially dogs?

At one time I listened to a television program where it was said that the love for pets could be compared to that of the mother with her children, at that moment it seemed exaggerated to me, however it is totally true, although it seems strange, the relationship of people with their dogs increases the production of oxytocin, a chemical substance that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and that not only originates affective bonds between human beings but also between other species especially in the case of dogs.

This hormone creates a strong emotional connection between the dog and its best friend, as well as parents and children. It is important to note the importance of eye contact in strengthening this bond between the dog and its master. It should be noted that this was proven from experiments conducted by a team of scientists from the Department of Animal Science and Biotechnology at Azabu University (Japan).

human-dog interactions elicit the same type of oxytocin positive feedback loop as seen between mothers and their infants, the team reports online today in Science. And that, in turn, may explain why we feel so close to our dogs, and vice versa.

For the children it is marvelous, since the sense of responsibility is created when delegating in them some tasks that have relation with the care of the pet, also in beneficial to handle the sadness and the insecurity of the small one.
