Ongoing studies bring us more news about the positive affect pets can have on us at every age and for all walks of life. From the calming influence of a Guide Dog for autistic children and their family to the happiness-factor blood-pressure-reducing effect of visiting pet programs for the shut-ins in hospitals, retirement villas and nursing homes, the perceived and real value of our pets continues to increase.

One of our goals in this pet blog and on our main website at www.MillionDollarPetPix.com is to celebrate pets with pet lovers and pet owners around the world. To share stories, photos and information that celebrates the wonder of pets and that promotes responsible pet ownership in a fun and positive way.

A pet photo op if ever there was one!

Like the dreary cold and windy days this past winter when a body didn’t want to move, to go anywhere or do anything. Those days of trying to overcome oneself. On one such day I came across this gem in an email. Thought you might appreciate it too. Anyone with a dog, a faithful soulful dog will enjoy this a lot.
