1. You’ll exercise more.你会得到更多的锻炼
   
Owning a dog can motivate you to exercise every day. On those days when it might be easy to skip a workout, looking at your dog standing by the door waiting to go for a walk can give you the push you need to get out there. Taking your dog for a 30 minute walk every day can greatly improve your health.

Not only does walking your dog help you to get exercise, it might also help you get a date. People are more likely to stop and talk with you when you’re walking a dog. Going to the dog park or taking your dogs to run errands can also lead to strangers striking up conversations with you about your dog.
   
遛狗不仅能锻炼身体，还可能增大你约会的几率。当你在遛狗的时候，人们多半会停下来和你交流。去个遛狗的公园或者带着你的狗狗去走走也会吸引陌生人和你交流狗狗的事。
   

4. You may detect cancer sooner.你也许能快速的觉察到癌症
   
A dog’s amazing sense of smell can be used for a variety of purposes, including cancer detection.

One of the unexpected benefits of having a dog is that it may even save your life by helping you to detect cancer.
   
狗狗那敏锐的嗅觉能应用到很多方面，包括检查癌症。据许多狗主人说狗狗嗅、舔、推的地方都容易被检查出是癌变的地方。养只狗狗出人意料的一个好处就是帮你检查出癌症，拯救你的生命。

Male pet owners in particular tend to experience a reduced rate of heart disease.

Caring for a dog helps relieve symptoms of depression and encourages people to be more positive.

养狗的人会有较少的健康问题。比起那些不养狗的人，养狗的人他们的血脂和胆固醇水平会更低。狗狗经常会让他们的主人走到户外，那样会增强人体对疾病的抵抗力。所以，养狗的人比不养狗的人更少生病。
