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.
