Man�s best friend - Scientific research throws new light on a very old partnership

THE relationship between people and dogs is unique. Among domesticated animals, only dogs are capable of performing such a wide variety of roles for humans: herding sheep, sniffing out drugs or explosives and being our beloved companions. It is hard to be precise about when the friendship began, but a reasonable guess is that it has been going strong for more than 20,000 years.

Nine Percent of Horse Owners Have Made Financial Provisions for Their Horse in Their Will

While 9% of horse owners have made financial provisions for their pet in their will, this practice is more common among horse owners with no young children. Also, owners in the Southern and Western regions are slightly more likely to make these provisions for their horse.

Financially providing for one’s horse is significantly higher among owners with higher household incomes, as well as owners who are not married.
