College Students Find Comfort In Their Pets During Hard Times

College Students Find Comfort In Their Pets During Hard Times:

"A survey of students at a large university and other adults in the area found that nearly a quarter of college students surveyed believed their pets helped them get through difficult times in life. Students who chose to live with at least one dog, one cat, or a combination of the two were less likely to report feeling lonely and depressed; something they directly attributed to their beloved pet."
