Many: Sense of purpose, stimulus for exercise, heart health - pet owners exhibit decreased blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels -- all of which can ultimately minimize their risk for having a heart attack down the road. And my favorite - big sloppy kisses. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
