Pet Therapy - What Kind of Pet Do You Have?

When you have a living thing that you can take care of and care for, it does something nice for a human being. I had an interesting interaction with my older granddaughter over the break who has fish in her dorm room. She said, you know, it's just nice to have somebody to take care of. And on top of that, your pet doesn't really have other life tasks. So there isn't going to be a point at which the pet says, yeah, this has been great, but now it is time for me to go off on my own.
