Relevant experts once asked a group of rural children who often interact with horses: "Why do you like horses?" The results of the survey showed that the children felt that horses were strong and sensible, and that they were responsible for them. These 5 to 11-year-old children seem to still need help and care from adults, but after raising horses, they become more mature. Experts also surveyed more than 500 teenagers, and 97% of them expressed their special love for domestic animals. They call these animals their "best friends" and themselves their "only protectors".

For adults, especially those who are single, domestic animals can cause stronger psychological reactions. They "talk" to their animals, and many of them believe that these animals can detect changes in people's emotions. At the same time, people have also found that domestic animals can improve the relationship between people within the family. An expert did an interesting experiment: let a person walk along the same route twice on the street, the first time holding his dog, the second time alone, with an observer behind him, recording The reaction of oncoming passers-by. As a result, passersby frequently talk to the person holding the dog, but rarely talk to the same person who is not holding the dog. In families, after starting to raise animals, the relationship between family members becomes harmonious. For example, in some embarrassing situations, if the topic starts with raising animals, the atmosphere will become more natural.

Domestic animals also play an important role in the treatment of patients.

In recent years, foreign medical workers have used "animal-assisted therapy" to take advantage of the impact of domestic animals on people's psychological changes. There are 160 such animal therapy centers in the United States and Canada alone. This method often cheers up patients with depression and allows disabled children to exercise their limb functions. In a hospital in the United States, doctors put a disabled child on a horse and asked someone to lead the horse to sometimes trot and sometimes jump over low wooden stakes.

All the children who have received horse riding training in this hospital have overcome the mobility difficulties caused by their disabilities to varying degrees. This is because physical exercise stimulates the recovery of muscle function. More importantly, disabled people see that horseback riding can enable them to move like normal people, and their spiritual happiness cannot be replaced by other therapies. A doctor once selected several people who raised small animals and measured their blood pressure while they were reading, talking to people, and "talking" to small animals. The results showed that the blood pressure was lowest in the last situation. This may be due to the fact that at this time, the blood pressure was the lowest. I feel relaxed and happy, without any mental pressure or burden. Some people have even found that when people watch the colorful and varied fish in the fish tank, their blood pressure will also decrease.
