Three quarters of people surveyed felt less stressed since getting a dog.
A new survey has found spending just half an hour a week with a dog makes people more successful.
80% of dog owners see a rise in their self-esteem after getting a puppy, while three quarters felt less stressed since getting a dog.
A spokesperson for the pet-care marketplace Rover, which carried out the survey, says the routine of taking care of a dog leads to more successful outcomes and greater satisfaction.
