Dog owners are ‘happier’ than those without a four-legged companion, according to a report.
Those with a dog have 69 per cent more ‘meaningful’ interactions - one-to-ones which boost their overall mood-a-month - than those without a pet.
The study of 2,004 adults also found dog owners benefit from the simple act of walking their canine chum, as 31 per cent feel less lonely when they go for a stroll with their pet.
