TIDBITS CUDDLES INTO
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF
PETS
by Rick Dandes
Seventy-five percent of Americans own pets, opening their homes to an estimated 77 million cats and 61 million dogs. Why do we love our pets so much? The answer is pretty clear when we see that 94 percent of pet owners say their animal pal not only provides companionship, but makes them smile more than once a day.
