Dogs have been considered people’s best friend for thousands of years , but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today .
With all of the seismic shifts in today’s world , rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing , and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability . Amidst these dire realities , something wonderful has taken shape . In the United States alone , dog adoptions doubled during the COVID - 19 pandemic .
As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have , they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives . Now , The Purest Bond explores the benefits our dogs can have on our physical , emotional , cognitive , and social well - being , often without our realizing it .
Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real - life stories , The Purest Bond explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health , mental acuity , and our ability to focus and absorb information . Most importantly , they remind us of what’s right in the world—love , trust , affection , playtime , fresh air , and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong .
