How Pets Save Billions on Health Care Costs
Hello and Happy Friday! We're teaming up today with the folks from Petco to bring you some information on how pets make you healthier and save money on health care costs. Recent research from the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative (HABRI) shows that our pets are good for our health.

Not to mention that watching him do everything with his whole heart (even if often misguided) is quite inspiring :)
