CITY GOVERNMENT PRESS RELEASE
Bark in the Park, an elated assembly
- AS PREPARED FOR PUBLICATION -
Los Santos, SA ~ Saturday, February 12th, 2022
On February 11th at 19:00, the City of Los Santos and its citizens assembled to give significance to our faithful canine companions. Vinewood Hills Park provided everyone with the liberty of adventure and warm get-togethers.
The enthusiastic anticipation was met with an outburst of positive energy for all participants — where both humans and dogs alike wallowed in the opportunity of interaction harmoniously.
It is long-established by now that dogs and humans hold a unique bond with one another. Scientific studies confirm that having a pet dog has many benefits. For instance, it makes the said person happy. A dog naturally produces positive vibes that affect us on a whole different level of emotions.
Throughout the history of mankind, dogs have always been our loyal companions. Aiding us in hunting, protection, and above all placing a smile on our faces after a tough and stressful day. Dogs truly are God's gift bestowed upon every human being, their trust and love that they express towards us are transcendent.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), an estimated 78 million dogs are owned as pets in the United States.
EXAMPLES OF HOW VALUABLE DOGS ARE
• Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.
• Playing with a dog can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.
• Heart attack patients with pets survive longer than those without.
• The companionship of a pet can also ease loneliness, and most dogs are a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost your mood.
When we interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone largely responsible for social bonding, this hormonal “love injection†boosts our psychological well-being.
Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more resilient to stress. That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.
HOW DOGS KEEP YOU IN GOOD HEALTH
Many studies have suggested that having dogs as pets is associated with better physical health. Analysis has shown that owning a dog reduces a person's risk of premature death by up to a third. However, the benefits may appear thanks to a series of factors related to lifestyle adjustments that people tend to make after they decide to adopt a canine friend.
What are these factors, you wonder? Physical activity and commitment! You are naturally required to take care of your pet dog, to equally love him just as how much your dog loves you! Tending to your pet dog is essential, it shouldn't be a chore. Whilst the responsibility on your back is substantially larger, that responsibility itself can work miracles on both yourself and your dog. Namely, your health condition improves as you take your dog out on a walk, be it once or twice a day. That itself is a major step forth in terms of your physical condition, let alone encouraging you to continue with physical activity almost spontaneously.
Adopting healthy lifestyle changes plays an important role in easing symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.
CARING FOR A PET CAN HELP YOU MAKE HEALTH LIFESTYLE CHANGES
• Increasing exercise.
• Providing companionship.
• Helping you meet new people.
• Reducing anxiety.
• Adding structure and routine to your day.
• Providing sensory stress relief.
If you made your decision about adopting a pet dog, do not hesitate! There are tons of these fluffy, adorable, and humble creatures out there that await your rescue TODAY!

Amity on first sight.
“It is really difficult not to cheer up, even after a hard day's work, when you are greeted with — often vocal — enthusiasm by a friendly dog."
