Owning a Pet Is Good for Your Health

Pets in America are incredibly well loved: according to a 2015 Harris poll, 95% of owners think of their animal as a member of the family. About half buy     1     birthday presents. And it’s a two-way street. People who have pets tend to have lower blood pressure, heart rate and heart-disease risk than those who don’t. Those health benefits may come from the extra exercise that playing and walking     2     (require), and the stress relief of having a steady best friend on hand.

Scientists are now digging up evidence     3     animals can also help improve mental health, even for people with challenging disorders. Small     4     the studies are, the benefits are impressive enough that clinical settings are opening their doors to animal assisted interventions — pet therapy, in other words — used alongside conventional medicine. “    5     (think) of an animal in a hospital used to be one of the great no-no’s,” says Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University, citing the fear of causing infection. “Now, I don’t know of any major children’s hospital     6     at least some kind of animal program.”

The rise of animal therapy     7     (back) by increasingly serious science showing that social support — a proven antidote to anxiety and loneliness — can come on four legs, not just two. Animals of many types can help calm stress, fear and anxiety in young children, the elderly and everyone in between.

More research is needed     8     scientists know exactly why it works and how much animal interaction is needed for the best results. But     9     (publish) studies show that paws have a place in medicine and in mental well-being. “The data is strong,” Beck says. “If you look at     10     animals do for people and how we interact with them, it’s not surprising at all.”

As a nature photographer, although I have to brave the elements, I enjoy     1    (work)outside in the wild. I can observe animals in their     2    (nature)environment.

My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park,     3     is the world’s first national park. It is famous for the variety of its wildlife, especially its bears. A bear has an average weight of over 180 kilograms, and can run at     4     speed of 72 kilometres per hour and is good at swimming.

Last spring in Yellowstone, I walked along a path through a dark forest. I was fascinated by this     5    (amaze)scene.     6    (sudden),I found a bear staring back at me. I froze with my legs     7    (shake). Somehow, I forced my finger     8    (press)the button. After a while, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered     9    the shock, I found my most frightening but magical experience     10    (capture)forever in a single image.

The photo was a reminder to show respect to all animals.
