The L.A. Times reports that the side effects of hormonal therapy, which involves such drugs as leuprolide (Lupron, Viadur, Eligard), goserelin (Zoladex) and triptorelin (Trelstar), includes a 10 percent to 50 percent increase in the risk of fractures, diabetes, heart disease and sudden cardiac death; a 500 percent increase in hot flashes; and a 267 percent increase in impotence. It also has adverse effects on fats and cholesterol and causes enlargement of the breasts. Wait. It gets worse. The 10-year death rate from prostate cancer was 17.4 percent in those receiving no therapy, compared with 19.9 percent in those receiving hormonal therapy.

# Senior citizens who own pets actually need less medical attention than those that do not. # Pet owners typically have lower blood pressure than non-pet owners, and one study actually proved that with as little as 10 minutes with a pet can lower blood pressure significantly. # Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels than non-owners. # Pet owners have overall better physical health due to exercise with their pets. 70 percent of families surveyed reported an increase in family happiness and fun after acquiring a pet. # Children exposed to pets during their first year of life have a lower frequency of some allergies and asthma. # Children who suffer from autism have more pro social behaviors if they own a pet. # Owning a pet - especially a dog - helps children in families better adjust to the serious illness or death of a parent. # Pets decrease feelings of loneliness and isolation in their owners. # Having a pet may decrease heart attack mortality rates by 3 percent, which translates into 30,000 lives saved annually. # Positive self-esteem in children is enhanced if the child owns a pet. # Children owning pets are more likely to be involved in sports, hobbies, clubs or even chores. # Victims of AIDS who own a pet report less depression and reduced stress levels. # Many groups take therapy pets to visit residents of nursing homes, and the experience has shown to be a very positive one for both the pet and the individual. # The reverse is also true - the life of a pet is usually enhanced if its owner cares for it properly.

Dogs As Companion Animals
...

For decades dogs (Canis familiaris) have been used to aid humans in tasks such as hunting, herding and guarding. Dogs have also been used to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. This includes guiding and alerting people with impaired vision or hearing, and retrieving dropped items for the physically challenged. More recently, the concept of dog-assisted therapy has evolved into tremendously successful programs in the areas of physical rehabilitation and psychological recovery. However, as society has moved from small rural communities to increasingly large urban and suburban centers, the role of dogs as mere companions has increased. More than 30 million Americans live with one or more dogs, the majority of whom are kept as social companions.
