Shih-Tzu Dogs Are Therapuetic for Those with Stress

Linda Stamberger
We live in a stressful world. There is no getting around this fact. People are dealing with financial and physical problems, yet we seem to brighten and let go of some of our burdens around our beloved pets. I find Shih-Tzu dogs to be some of the most relaxing, comforting creatures out of all the small dog breeds. They look like teddy bears, their fur feels like cotton to the touch, they have warm, pink little bellies that love to be rubbed. My dog Kissy grunts like a little pig when I rub her belly. I feel instantly relaxed when I pet and rub my dog; especially when she reciprocates with hand kisses and snuggling. When I start to pet or even play catch with my dog, the stress lifts, or becomes dramatically reduced. We as human beings, have made living on planet Earth complicated, and we have forgotten how to play like our four-legged friends. Does that mean that dog's are smarter than we humans? Maybe!
