問題詳情：

    According to a survey by the American pet Products Manufacturers Association, 62 percent of American households include pets. These animals don’t ask for much -- just a short list of basics such as food, shelter, and, of course, our companionship (陪伴). Pets offer far more in return, teaching us about love, improving our emotional and physical health, and providing us with unconditional love and friendship.

   Companion animals are natural teachers. They help people of all ages learn about responsibility, loyalty, sharing, and unconditional love -- qualities particularly essential to a child’s healthy development. Through helping to care for a pet, children also learn to care for their fellow human beings. There is a link between how people treat animals and how they treat each other. Kindness to animals is a lesson that benefits people, too.

   Specially trained assistance dogs help people who have physical and mental disabilities (殘疾). Assistance dogs are not sorted out as pets under the law, and they are allowed in public places where pets are prohibited. These dogs serve as the hands, ears, or eyes of their human partners and assist them by performing everyday tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. Dogs may also notice changes in behavior, body language, or smell of their human partners, alerting (提醒) them so that they may seek a safe environment.

   Pets are good for our emotional and physical health. Caring for a companion animal can lessen feelings of loneliness in all age groups. It’s well known that relaxed, happy people do not become ill as often as those who suffer from pressure and sadness. Animal companionship also helps lower a person’s blood pressure. To put it simply, pets aren’t just good friends, they are good medicine.
