A great side-effect of dog ownership is how often random people stop and talk to you when you're out and about. I'm quite a loner and perfectly happy on my own, but also recognised in recent years that random chats with strangers have a noticeably positive effect on my mental health. I moved city last year to somewhere where I barely know anyone, got a dog, and have talked to more people in this city in the first six months than I probably did in two years in the prior city where I'd lived for 20 odd years. |
