Many schools are now adopting programs with therapy dogs, allowing students to visit with the pup during the day for a mental health break!
Furthermore, when you own a pet, you must get out of bed, feed and take care of it. They love on you, showing daily affection, and in turn, can help ease symptoms of depression.

This daily activity improves your physical health and lets off feel-good endorphins simultaneously.
Now, where did we put that leash?
