I hope they continue the study for a few years and see if the effects remain the same. Hopefully the pet doesn't become part of a routine, and the symptoms don't resurface. I have seen a lot of people adopt pets and then discard them once they get bored of it.

Besides that, not every pet is a bundle of joy. Cats and dogs get sick or chronically disabled (most therapy breeds are also highly susceptible to bone deceases). So now you have your "best friend" that requires constant attention, medication and money.

  Not that you want to deal with it, but taking care of other living things does have emotional rewards.

    It can have its rewards indeed. But there is no guarantee it will.
