Older people can benefit greatly from pet ownership. Dogs are wonderful companion animals for the older adult that does not have any close family members. Dogs fill a void that us social humans need.
Unfortunately due to the economic climate and the price of dog food rising, many elderly dog owners have been forced to choose between paying for their Medicare supplement insurance, utilities or even their own food. Thankfully many local agancies have stepped up and supplied dog food for those who rely heavily on their dogs as their only form of companionship.

In my travels around the net, I am finding more sharing and caring than ever before. This is a bad time for many, but it is also bringing out a lot of good in people. Nice post!
