Share secrets with your dog. It's good for your health.

He's loyal, he's silent, he won't interrupt you talking to him, and above all, he doesn't give hard advice... he doesn't give any advice at all.

An English study cautions that sharing <x0 drugs and problems” with your dog or any pet does good for your health.

It's a big mistake to underestimate the role domestic animals have in today's lives. Tell them, even about your greatest secrets, helps to combat stress, eliminate anxiety, and a host of other harmful feelings about physical and mental health”, says English psychologist Corinne Sweet.

The animals may not understand what they are told, they may not speak, but they are undoubtedly the most loyal friends of their masters. Of course, speaking to them sounds a little awkward, but as studies show, doing so contributes to our health, and a four - footed friend values the attention devoted to it”, says study director Janet Connor.
