As a trained therapy dog, Joey is able to go to nursing homes. What are some of the benefits of petting dogs?
Here are four:
1. Reduces blood pressure
2. Reduces anxiety
3. Boosts relaxation chemical in your brain (serotonin)
4. Reduces the stress chemical (cortisol)
We met Joey and his owners in Vermont at Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Parlor.
If Joey could talk, " What do you think he might say? "
