    This is a misapplication. Usually the law is for headlines like "Will this city be the next silicon valley?", claims against conventional wisdom. Here, the author is questioning conventional wisdom on pets. Her question could also have been phrased as "Are we wrong about the health benefits of pets?" Betterridge's law would produce opposite conclusions on both headlines. If you can formulate it that way, it's not a good application of the law.
