I believe taking care of something living other than themselves had a role in their improved outlook. A shift in focus always seems to help improve my perspective and there is a lot to be said for distractions.

I've had dogs my entire life, & a cat adopted me; the cat & dog were best buddies. I would love another dog & cat, but can't bear to go thru the end stages of their lives which would be the case because at my age now I'd most likely look for an older rescue... I know the argument would be if I went before the dog or cat, then the animal would become a rescue (I have no family nearby who could take a pet), but there are already sooooo many animals in need, why potentially add to that...
but I agree w/ you, dogs are absolutely marvelous, if you're able to have one!! And cats!!
An experiment for the next season of Severance?

Every home needs plants and at least one dog.
