Exposure to pets good for babies

The University of Alberta has been doing a study and it is clear that babies that are exposed to furry pets like dogs have better immune systems. They are less likely to develop allergies or become obese later on.

Let's face it, dogs are good for our health. They have also found children exposed to pets have less asthma.
The best thing you can do for yourself and your children is get a dog. Walking the dog would be good exercise too.
In every way a pet is a good idea.
