    Having a pet dog helps reduce children's stress levels. A study of over 600 children found that those with pet dogs showed less signs of stress, with only 12% exhibiting stress compared to 21% of children without dogs. While dogs are known to help children's development, it is unclear if less stressed children are given dogs or if the dogs make the children less stressed. There appears to be a link between pet dogs and lower stress levels in children. Dogs also help children socialize, which can be difficult, and provide comfort by allowing children to share secrets. For some children, their dog's name is one of the first words they speak.
