Teens often horse around, but USU Counseling Center Director Mary Doty says being around horses can be good for helping youth with mental and emotional ailments. Horses can help delinquent juveniles interact successfully in society, just as pets in prisons help inmates become more receptive to rehabilitation.

Man's Best Friend Lends a Hand
When life starts raining cats and dogs, it might be a good idea to go out and seek the companionship of one, says USU Counseling Center Director Mary Doty. Interacting with animals can lower high blood pressure and stress as well as decrease depression. Among the elderly, the presence of pets can increase alertness, mobility and speech.
