Pet ownership has become an integral part of modern life, with millions of people worldwide keeping pets as companions. Dogs, in particular, have been a popular choice as pets due to their loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to form strong bonds with their owners. The human-animal bond has been extensively studied, with research highlighting the physical and emotional benefits of pet ownership, including reduced stress levels, increased social connections, and improved mental health (Allen et al., 2017; O'Haire et al., 2013).
