Reply to comment by YourScaleyOverlord in Owning a pet is linked to having better cognitive health in advanced age, study finds by nikan69

I think maybe having a pet makes you have to use more of your brain compared to not having a pet because you have another life to take care of, so in terms of “if you don’t use it, you lose it”, becomes kind of relevant.

Edit: fixed grammar

I'm also thinking about dogs forcing people out for walks, and exercise is great for arterial health in the brain!
