  1. Dogs enhance our mood. Just staring eye-to-eye with our beloved dogs releases oxytocin in our brains, making us feel good. Oxytocin is sometimes called the "love hormone," because it spreads warmth and happiness in our hearts when we are close to loved ones, including our dogs. Yes, it's beneficial in building relationships since this hormone fosters trust and empathy. What's more, dogs feel the same way because of oxytocin.
  2. Dogs help in relieving stress and keeping us mentally healthy. Researchers from the University of British Columbia found that petting dogs could reduce stress significantly. They tested pre-exam stress in 246 students both before and after they interacted with a therapy dog. The study results were that "therapy dog sessions had strong immediate benefits, significantly reducing stress and increasing happiness and energy levels."

  3. Dogs help us make friends easily. People often greet us when we take walks with our dogs. They ask us about their names, breeds, habits, and other things and we are comfortable answering them. In fact, conversations about dogs are often marked with laughter and smiles.
  4. Dogs give us the kind of love we all desire but some of us don't really deserve. Yes, let's face it, our dog loves us with such devotion and loyalty that's hard to find in people. They are also extrenely patient and forgiving so that you can't help doubting at times if they deserve to have pitiful you as their master.
  5. Dogs help in keeping us physically healthy. Yes, these sweet animals kindle our adventurous spirit. They encourage us to be more active even by simply taking a walk or enjoying a game of fetch. Road trips and other outdoor activities are also more fun-filled with dogs due to their enthusiasm, energy, and curiosity.

For more than 20 years now, I’ve been devoting my heart, energy, and time to fulfilling my dream, which – many people may agree – is not among the easiest aspirations in life. Part of my happiness is having been able to lend a hand to many individuals, companies, and even governments as an investigative journalist, creative writer, TV director, and radio broadcaster.


At home, I spend my free time learning how to cook various cuisines. Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and banoffee pie are my favorite desserts. Playing with our dogs, Mushu and Jerusalem, is also a special part of my day. And, of course, I read a lot – almost anything under the sun. But what really makes me feel alive is meeting people from various walks of life and writing about their stories, which echo with the tears and triumph of an unyielding spirit, humanity, and wisdom.
