WOIO-TV: Pets can be better stress-relievers than people

An article about famous fathers and their relationships with their dogs looks at the benefits of having a pet, and reports that a 2002 study by UB researchers showed that spending time with a pet was associated with lower stress responses than spending time with a human. The article appeared on a number of news outlets, including WSFX-TV in Wilmington, N.C., WOIO-TV in Cleveland and KNDO-TV in Washington State.
