If you’ve lived with or around animals, you’ll agree that they are the best of friends. There’s something about animals, pets or not, that makes you want to drop everything and give them attention. And they will not settle for anything less than our undivided attention either. When they need your time, they’ll do anything to steal it from you. Even if they have to put their head on your laptop’s keyboard. Animals are special because they help with coping with whatever we are undergoing in life. They give us the calm to deal with life. To simply take a break from routine and focus on our mental wellbeing. Who better than animals to check on that?
