Episode 17 - “Pet/Person Relationship: Pt. 2 - with Douglas Green"
Beyond acting as alarm systems, garbage disposals, rodent control, and hunting companions, the pet/person relationship is often a familial bond, with benefits including improvement of health and longevity for both people and animals. Studies are showing that owning a pet can benefit those suffering from a myriad of health and social concerns, including a variety of mental and physical illnesses.
Sure animals might be dirty, tracking mud into our homes, but studies also show that babies raised in households with pets develop less allergies and develop stronger immune systems than those who are not. Therapeutically, animals are used to promote empathy and responsibility in children and adolescents, including those on the autistic spectrum.
In part 2 of this episode, we continue our conversation about the animal/human connection with Douglas Green (http://www.douglasgreenmft.com/), A marriage and family therapist here in Los Angeles, who has written a book about his own special relationship with a pet, titled "The Teachings of Shirelle: Life Lessons from a Divine Knucklehead” (www.CavalleriaPress.com).
