I have seen recently on television a report on high blood pressure.
They claim that a pet drops it to normal or below norm for the
age of that person.

The program had people with high blool pressure being taken during
a- a normal setting and talking (their normal reading)
b- stressful thinking (went up)
c- back to normal talk (back to their norm)
d- talking about their pets (lowered it)
e- bring in their pets (pressure dropped to average for that age group)

BTW, most  stutterers will talk fluently to their pets.
