Pets are therapeutic. I love my animals. They keep me company and they don't bitch and moan (most of the time). The local dog pound or animal rescue has plenty of animals in need of a good home. They also give varmints a run for their money. Homes with a barking dog are less likely to get broken into than a home without one. Works better than a home alarm system (that no one responds to).
