According to science, pre-school children with pet dogs may behave better compared to children without a pet puppy. Experts believe that younger children who spend time with pets when they are not in school, learn better empathy. Researchers from the University of Western Australia and Telethon Kids Institute found that children from households with pet dogs were 23 percent less likely to have problems expressing emotions and social interactions than kids who owned no dogs. Plus, the study found that playing with their pet dogs three or more times a week made children 74 percent more likely to be kind towards others.
