My wife, Dr. Pam, and I love dogs, specially our new boy, Boogie.

Dr. Sinatra loved dogs! During a medical conference lecture he gave years ago, one of the doctors in the audience asked whether he had any experience with the healing benefits of pets.

Although he couldn't quantify the degree of benefit, over the years many patients told him how comforting their pets have been to them and how they considered their animals a vital part of recovery.

Medical research also supports the health benefits of pets. Specifically, pets significantly increase longevity in people with coronary artery disease who have a heart attack. They also help to reduce their owner's blood pressure and enhance the opportunity to meet other people. Pets also allow people to be alone without being lonely.

Since today is National Dog Day, we thought we would share a photo of Dr. Sinatra and the two furry family members he had several years ago and invite you to share pictures of your pets.
