Pets Are Wonderful: Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough in to the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into t heir magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,"ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."
Throughout history and all over the world, animals have brought love, laughter and companionship to people whose lives they share.
Today, many doctors, social workers, and other health care professional believe that companion animals are important in helping many people lead healthy, happy lives, especially elderly and very young people.
Here are some of the advantages of owning a dog, cat, bird or other pet:
- COMPANIONSHIP: Pets fill many loney hours for elderly people who live alone or feel isolated from friends and family. Round-the-clock companions, eager to give and receive love, pets satisfy the universal need to be needed.
- ACCEPTANCE: Loyal, devoted, and utterly forgiving, animals accept people as they are. No questions asked.
- TOUCH: Everyone needs to hug and be hugged. A cat curled in your lap or a dog's friendly muzzle thrust in your hand gives reassurance and satisfaction.
- SOURCE OF ACTIVITY: Animals are naturally playful and their antics are fun to watch. Having a pet that requires daily exercise gets both the young and older persons out in the fresh air and sunshine, too.
- RESPONSIBILITY: Feeding, grooming, and exercising a pet helps young and the elderly establish and/or maintain their healthy routine. A pet's dependence strengthens self-esteem and motivation to carry out daily tasks.
