PET-A-PET
❤️😻A Virtual Hub for Animal Lovers😻❤️
PET-A-PET is a virtual hub for animal lovers from all over the world, who come together to share amazing stories of pet interactions and how having a pet has impacted their lives positively. Pets, be they birds, dogs, cats, horses or any other furry or not so furry friends can fill our lives with so much fun, excitement and joy. They are amazing souls who can cheer you up, make you laugh, get up to some mischief, help those with special needs and even provide security surveillance in some cases.
At PET-A-PET we encourage everyone to make room for a pet in their
lives. Research has shown that merely petting a doggy (dog) or a catty
(cat) can help lower the risk of high blood pressure and ease loneliness
and depression not to mention some social interactions that could not
otherwise be had, if one didn't own a pet!

Six Health Benefits of Having A Pet
Here on PET-A-PET, we like to call ourselves PETRS and this week we share the amazing story of PETR Sadie who got really sad and depressed after she lost her granny Helma in a tragic motor accident. How did her pet doggy Jeremy come to her rescue?
Pls read her story.👇👇
"My granny Helma was the best and we were very close. I daresay I was
a lot closer to her than my mom. We went on vacations together,
picnics together and in those moments ofinteraction, she taught me a
lot about life and I loved and respected her a lot. How devastated I
was when she was killed by a drunk driver. For several
months,I shut myself indoors and refused to see anyone. People soon learned to leave me alone. A year after Gran passed, I decided to
take a walk around town, just to clear my head.I hadn't left the house
in weeks. My legs took me past the local shelter which I had passed
severally on countless occassions without as so much as a glance. But
that day was different. My steps were slower as I relieved walking on
those very roads with my Gran. As I neared the shelter, I could see
some dogs were about to be transported into the shelter and that was
where I first saw Jeremy.
He was standing among the other dogs in a small group but he wasn't
yelping and barking like the others were. Instead his head was lowered
and his ears drooped. I recall thinking to myself ,"maybe he didnt
like being in a shelter". I had meant to walk past, when he lifted his
little head and focused his huge eyes directly on me. They seemed so
sad and lonely. I remmember wondering if he had lost his gran too or
his mom. At that moment something flicked in my heart. I don't know
what it was, but it made me retrace my steps and drew me steadily
towards the shelter. I asked Karl, who was offloading the dog crates,
if he belonged to anyone in particular."No one owns him yet but you'll
be welcome to have him, if you would" , was his response. "I think I
want to", I said. I followed Karl in for some paperwork and checks and
the rest like they say, is history.
Jeremy proved to be the healing balm I needed. Right from the get go,
he wrapped his little paws around my hands and looked so intensely at
me, that I felt like, he was telling me, "You're my mom now". I guess
thers's something about grief that makes you more perceptive of the
vulnerability of another and makes you more inclined to help. Jeremy
has been wonderful! I never knew pets could be so amazing. Gran didn't
tell me that. Maybe she didn't like animals but sure wish she was here
to share the happiness Jeremy brings me. He is a such an affectionate
little soul. He's capable of sensing my every mood and on those days,
when I'm particularly low, he has this funny habit of trying to lick
up my tears,which tears me up and makes me laugh at the same time.
Talk about using a 'wet hankie'😊
It's been three amazing years since I met Jeremy and everyone says I
finally seem to have gotten over my Gran. But that's not true. There's
no way, I could ever forget my beloved Helma ❤️🩹, whom I sorely miss
but I'm grateful Jeremy came along to make it possible to keep living
despite the pain."
