Dogs have been our best animal buddy for thousands of years. They’ve helped us out in countless ways, from hunting alongside us to guiding us as service dogs. Talk to any pet owner and they’ll tell you how much joy their dog brings them. But you’ll also probably hear about vets bills, muddy footprints or chewed up slippers. There are plenty of claims about the ways in which dogs might benefit our physical and mental health, but how strong is the evidence?
Join Anand Jagatia as he enlists the help of his own pup, Stella, to explore the evidence. He uncovers the profound effects that service dogs can have on the mental health of military veterans in the US. Anand ponders the strangely unique relationship between humans and dogs and we learn about the surprising ways that growing up with a pet dog can impact your health.
