*Why Life Is Just Better With A ‘Doodle’*🐶🐶🐶

1. Doodles relieve your stress…according to a study conducted by A. Katcher and A. Beck, playing or even just petting a familiar doodle lowers blood pressure and heart rate, slows breathing and relaxes muscle tension almost immediately.

2. Doodles are good for your heart…according to the’American Journal of Cardiology’ heart attack patients one year later had a much higher survival rate than non-pet owners.

3. Doodles make us happy…even just looking at a doodle can make you happier. Owning a doodle can help alleviate depression…in all ages..

4. Doodles increase our social interactions with other people…people stop and talk to others when out with their doodle. Teenagers and young adults who grow up with a dog become more confident and empathetic.

5. Doodles keep us physically active…dog owners walk an average of 300 minutes per week and non dog owners walk only 168 minutes. Those walks around the block are good for you!

6. Doodles make us want to take care of them…K. Lorenz stated that a doodle’s facial features are known as social releasers and bring out a  caregiver response in us humans.

7. Doodles can make you more attractive to potential love interests…a study in England showed that 60% said that owning a doodle can make a person seem more attractive and 85% said that people seem more approchable when they are with a doodle.

“We love our doodles because they love us…especially a Stone Willow Doodle!”
