Searching: Stats and facts?
Question:
Our grandfather and his daughter (our aunt) put their dog down months ago. The thing is our grandfather doesn't want another dog but our aunt (who lives with our grandfather) does. And not only does she want another dog, whenever she sees one now you can almost see her heart sink she wants one so badly.
So, my idea is this: Every time I see my grandfather, (which is very often) I'll work in a fact or two on why it is beneficial to have a dog. The problem is I don't know too many facts. So could you post links to articles or really just any reference that would give valid and trustworthy information about the positive effects of having a dog around the house. Thanks!
Answers:
Stick to what you know...'the dog', say it like it is.you miss the geezer about the house. It's not the same without being pestered for attention!!
There's a reason why he's not keen. Lossing a pet is like losing a member of your family, it hurts. That's a cost. So any benefits will be weighed by the cost.
When you think he is ready and know for sure he wouldn't mind, turn up with a puppy, but make sure its cute.
