Dogs are great and all, and owning one can make you feel less lonely. Even for growing children, the benefits of having dogs are spectacular. Hayley Christian of the School of Population and Global Health in Australia concluded an as-yet-unpublished study on family dogs. The findings connect to the previous works about children developing better when they grow up around dogs.

“We simply looked at the kids with a dog and those that did not have a dog. Even in a very young age group, those with a dog were more physically active,” Christian told Fatherly. “Those with a family dog were also doing better developmentally, particularly with prosocial behaviors, when they interacted with adults and other children.”
