Brief
GDP continues to go up and up, while the number of dogs per household has remained stagnant. Nothing would do more to improve the mental health of every American than providing them with 1,000 dogs (of varying breeds) per month, free and clear, no questions asked.
Studies show that simply by petting a friendly dog, radical improvements are seen in the health of humans. Petting dogs:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Slows heart rates
- Regulates breathing
- Relaxes muscles
These health benefits are possible with just one dog; imagine the stress-reducing benefits of owning 12,000 dogs.
