+====== Pet therapy ======
+Patients suffering from even mild forms of stress, anxiety, or depression may want to consider getting or interacting with a **pet**. Interaction with pets has a well-defined positive favorable effect on psychopathological status and perception of quality of life.(({{pmid>long:16191447}}))
+===== Patient experiences =====
+<blockquote>
+My dog is my new best mate, and I am instantly feeling much better emotionally for having him. And I mean I "REALLY" feel better. I go out more, I walk more and I laugh more, I have something else to think about other than my sarc symptoms and medication. It is quite remarkable the power of pets.

+<blockquote>
+Hubby bought me two hair dogs, both hypo-allergenic.  One shih tzu and a lhasa apsa (poppi).  One is kept fairly short-haired and the other long, but I have never had a reaction to either. They are both medically-approved companion pups as the docs realize how much time I spend alone and indoors and I need them as much as I need my Benicar.
