But now medical researchers are starting to appreciate how owning pets can provide life-altering health benefits, too. Pets help their owners exercise more, reduce anxiety and connect to the world. Specially trained dogs help physically or emotionally disabled patients cope with serious illness and live fuller, more productive lives.
