I had heard this many years ago. Also that petting a dog will lower your blood pressure.

I had some sweet hens that did! I'd sit on the patio and they'd hop up on my lap. One of them was named Ruby and I'd sing "Ruby, don't take your love to town," to her. Nice memory.

The day I can't/won't have a dog in my life, I'll either have dementia, be dead or wish I was.
