According to John Bradshaw, a research fellow at the University of Bristol in England and author of ‘The Animals Among Us: How Pets Make Us Human’, there is proof that interacting with pets does reduce people’s stress, causing changes in oxytocin and in beta-endorphins. Pets provide significant social support to humans and can help individuals alleviate feelings of being lonely.

While you are trying to distract yourself being locked up at home due to social distancing or you are just looking for inspiration to spice up your life and make it more colourful, pets play an impactful role! Similar has been the influence of social media on people. Alike pets, it allows you to lighten up your mood when you get bored from your monotonous daily routine. Pets and Social Media have changed people’s lives completely in their respective different ways.
