There’s a reason dogs are called “man’s best friend.” Studies show owning a dog can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and decrease risk for cardiovascular disease. Simply put - dogs are good for your heart! But what is the science behind our emotional connections and deep relationships with our canine companions? Join WBUR senior editor of audience engagement & platforms Meghan Kelly for a fascinating conversation with an expert panel on why we love dogs and they love us.
