What is good about having a pet?

Give a pet love, and it will give it back to you a thousand times over. A pet is the most faithful companion. Having a pet around automatically lifts your mood, even on troubled days; its presence gives you positive vibes.

Yes, having a pet also means being restricted in some ways and bound to a specific schedule. Since you have to take care of it, feed it, and, in case it’s a dog, take it out for a walk. But having a particular routine shouldn’t be seen only as something negative. A routine can keep you on a productive path at a good pace, keep you grounded, and help you appreciate the simple things in life.

Under the line, having a pet has more positive than negative aspects.
