There Are No Bad Days When Kilo the Pug is Around
There is no doubt in my mind that a dog can brighten your day. How can a day be bad when it begins with a happy wagging tail and pug kisses to wake you up?
Dogs have this innate ability to increase your mood dramatically. Taking a break from the stress of everyday life to have a cuddle or go for a walk can do wonders for reducing stress.
By simply playing with your pup, naturally your brain’s levels of dopamine and serotonin increase. Both of these neurotransmitters are directly associated with pleasure and tranquility. So if you are feeling down lean on man’s best friend, it’s sure to brighten your day and life your mood.
