56% of dog and cat owners say they have been “rescued” by their furry friends, a poll of 2,000 pet owners found. 34% got a pet to improve their mental health and find it’s been working. 95% say their pet improves their mental health on a daily basis. Respondents say a pet “makes me feel needed” or offers support by “always being there.” “My dogs Lilo and Rambo are my biggest cheerleaders—they’re always there for me, no matter what kind of day I’m having,” eleven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles said. The poll was performed by Talker Research on behalf of Nulo. (Talker Research)
