I have a toy dog ( chinese crested, hairless). He helps me by laying on my lap and helping my muscles relax due to the warmth of his body heat as well as picks things up that I drop and gives them to me. He will also take off my socks for me. Now h e pays attention to anything unusual on the floor and gets it and gives it to me, lessening the chance that I might trip.

A dog as a pet helps everything. Reason to be. So loyal and loving.

I have high hopes of getting one--maybe a smallish Pit.

A pet is so helpful, I wish I could have one.

yes my dog is all way at my side she is get old but if i fall & my husband upstairs or in the garden she sits & wait till i get up she at my side now
