I think having pets make life more enjoyable.

I think so too! There are health benefits that come with owning a dog, because it forces the owner to be more active. Also, socializing a dog is as important for the dog as it is for the human owner!

Yes, they are also a comfort as they are non-judgemental and generally adoring.

I agree! Dog's provide both physical and emotional support and benefits. Cats are probably only emotionally supportive, though.

Well, if you're elderly or physically impaired, cat provide a reason to get up and move if only just to feed them and clean the litter box.
