The complex consciousness of dogs is a surprise to scientists. Studies are now occurring to raise the value of all animals. Unfortunately, cows test dumb, so we probably will continue to eat them. Post-surgical heart attack patients paired with service dogs do 40% better than those without. This prevents costly readmissions to hospitals saving Medicare money. In today’s world, medical treatment can be cookie-cutter. Doctors’ prescriptions seem based on generic diseases, not the individual patient. Individualized treatments are what I hope to encourage. Trained dogs do this by molding themselves to their owners, providing help in ways that are quite wonderful.
