Pets Help Kids Read

By

All across North America, there are programs where children and dogs meet for a reading session where kids read aloud to dogs. Children who are having difficulty with reading or who resist reading, do much better when they pair up with a dog. The reason for this is that a dog offers unconditional love and patience while being told a story.  This is just one more reason to adopt a new friend from a local shelter.

Pets Improve Cognitive Function

By

Pets can improve cognitive function. Cognitive function includes reasoning, memory, attention and language. It leads directly to the attainment of information and knowledge. One example of how animals can help with cognitive function is from a pet therapy study. Pet therapy was shown to help preserve and enhance the function of residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities with cognitive impairment. As you can see, adopting a pet can be beneficial.
