How wonderful to have a dog.

Owning a dog really makes a measurable and positive difference to health outcomes!

Yesterday, I republished a post from October, 2010 which included the story of Ricochet.  In that post, I mentioned a graphic that had been sent to me by ZocDoc.  I had been sent an email that in part read:

Hey Paul,

I work for ZocDoc, a doctor’s appointment website (not for dogs yet!).  I just stumbled upon your blog, because you wrote about the healing power of dogs. We’ve just launched an infographic called “the healing power of dogs” and since you also have the post on your site I  thought that this should be interesting to your readership and possibly help adoption.

I hadn’t heard of the company but very quickly the About Us page explained the background.  Now in fairness, that email was all about promoting a commercial organisation.  Nevertheless, it seemed such a useful and enjoyable graphic that I agreed to publish it.

oooOOOooo

The Healing Power of Dogs.

oooOOOooo

They truly are amazing creatures.

  1. That graphic is very useful, thanks for sharing! It also highlights things people would not otherwise consider, so thanks also for helping to inform the public 🙂
