Dogs can make us happy, that's why many of us have one.
But besides being a source of companionship and joy, they can also help to reduce our stress levels and improve our ability to concentrate and be creative, a new study by researchers at Seoul's Konkuk University suggests.
Using electroencephalography (EEG), the researchers monitored the brain activity of 30 healthy adults while engaged in different activities with a dog, namely "meeting, playing, feeding, massaging, grooming, photographing, hugging, and walking."
