MIAMI.- Las petsWhether they are dogs, cats or other types of pets, they can provide company, comfort and emotional support to women, almost in the same way that a child does. In addition, many women care for and protect their pets with unconditional love and this creates a very close, deep and lasting bond with their beloved furry friends.
It is said that the brain activity in a woman generates almost the same feeling that thinking about a child evokes and this shows that our four-legged friends – regardless of whether they are cats or dogs – awaken more than a thousand sighs and generate a connection with women as similar as a mother’s love for a child.
And let’s not forget that women – for the most part – are the ones who take care of the pets in the home from their feeding, care and entertainment and this strengthens coexistence and attachment.
“Today, Pet-Friendly spaces are a necessary trend for those who see their pets and dogs as part of the family and want to share with them at all times. Added to this trend are other services such as hotels, daycare centers and exclusive spas to pamper them just as they would do for a child,” commented Ivonne Aguilar, spokesperson for Best Friends Animal Society.
