What dogs bring to humans is incalculable, in terms of physical and mental benefits as well as quality of life. Today I want to talk about a more purely “playful” side of the presence of the dog in our life: in fact it has been scientifically proven that those who have dogs tow more .
Surprised
You shouldn’t. If you think about it some time ago we dealt with why you shouldn’t be afraid of dogs and I explained that there are no bad dogs and that in reality it is love that makes dogs so special. And if it is love that makes them shine, it is not a little predictable that we will also shine by

The benefits of the dog for humans
So, who has the dog tows more. Why
Science has shown that it is enough for a dog to enter a room for the level of stress in those present to be lowered and that stroking a dog, among other things, relaxes the muscles, improves blood pressure, increases the level of beta-endorphins. in the blood.
Furthermore, it has shown that having the dog next to you sleep better and that having the dog is associated with a lower risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease and a lower risk of death. So, the first answer is here: whoever has a dog is more attractive because it is healthy . A positive influence
But that’s not all. It is scientifically proven that dog owners are perceived as friendlier, more reliable, is more available than those who do not have it. People tend to be more careful and kind to dog owners, particularly if they are light colored and small in size.
As for me, I would like to add that it also depends on where you live . In Italy, for example, there are places where dogs are very well regarded and the pleasure that their presence generates is also extended to their humans, and there are places (the majority, unfortunately) where they are not well regarded at all. and it is impossible for owners to be indifferent to hostility towards their furry creatures. Fatal Attraction
But it doesn’t end there. In fact, some researchers have found that having a dog makes men more “palatable”. An experiment showed that women are 3 times more willing to give their phone number if a male accompanied by a dog asks for it.
A recent Israeli research wanted to investigate how the presence of a dog influences the perception that women and men have. The benchmark were two types of man, one with family man behaviors and the other with rascal behaviors and for the two types it was necessary to indicate whether they would marry him or have a temporary relationship.
A majority of the participants indicated that she would marry men with family man behavior and some indicated that she was interested in a short-term relationship with the rascal. What the research has found is thatinserting the variable dog – the two types of humans were now presented as dog owners – the perception of the ladies changed, significantly increasing the number of them interested in the scoundrel.
The presence of the dog, on the other hand, did not influence the image of a man like a father of a family, which does not mean that the presence of the furry dog ​​does not privilege him as well, considering that, as we have seen, thanks to dogs it is easier to meet new people.
The hypothesis is that the rascal model benefited from the presence of the dog because, even unknowingly, the ladies associated the dog with availabilityowner to commit to a long-term relationship, and ultimately to be one who cares, who commits and dedicates time and resources to someone he cares about.
