100 modi in cui il tuo cane può renderti migliore

by David Niven

Chi ha un cane vive più lungo, e meglio. Non sono chiacchere ma dati statistici. Avere accanto un amico a quattro zampe non aiuta solo a combattere l'ansia e a mantenersi in buona salute, ma migliora anche i rapporti interpersonali. Chi ha un cane infatti è più portato a essere paziente e aperto con gli altri. Per non parlare dell'effetto che i cuccioli non mancano mai di ottenere in un parco affollato di ragazze intente a prendere il sole... Attraverso una serie di deliziosi aneddoti supportati da ricerche scientifiche, David Niven racconta cento irresistibili storie di felicità canina... e bipede!

100 Simple Secrets Why Dogs Make Us Happy

This book contains 100 mini stories backed with a data fact of why dogs are good for our health. This is a series book about 100 Simple Secrets and this one is about dogs. I enjoyed reading it and the stories made me smile.

[Debra Daniels-Zeller · Rating 4 out of 5]

This me is a feel good book, but best read in small doses as it with a formula. Each section and secret has a personal story and backs up the story with data. I've never read a book in this series and this is the first I'd heard about it, but I enjoyed the stories which were well balanced and interesting and all heart-warming about people and their dogs. However a book like this, with 100 stories, is best in small doses. This book would be perfect for travel or for waiting for appointments.

Cute book good for dog lovers, who probably already know all of the "secrets" why dogs make us happy. Yes, the science behind each "secret" is only a blurb (and it would have been nice to have more information), and each anecdote seemed only tangentially connected to the science. But the stories were still heartwarming. A good read for a blue day or a good gift for someone who understand the value of canine companions.

An attempt to scientifically prove the benefits of having a dog. It did convince me, but it doesn't deal enough with families. Most of the examples involve solitary people. And it seems to repeat itself quite a few times.

Quick and fun reminders about why I love the canine species.

Short and sweet facts with good anecdotes.
